Sequential download with multiple sections

Hello! This is my first post here!
Sometimes I'm downloading a large movie from a non-torrent source and I would like to be able to watch it while it downloads. Downloading with a single chunk would achieve this purpose however the download speed is usually negatively impacted. It would be great to implement a feature that downloads the file sequentially using multiple threads (similar to the feature implemented by some torrent clients like qbittorrent that allows you to download sequentially using multiple connections). One way to go about this is by creating a "maximum chunk size" option.
I hope you give this option a thought as I don't think any other download manager implements such a potentially useful feature!
