Transmission torrent client sequential download

I'm using TransmissionBT torrent client (http://www.transmissionbt.com/).

Is it possible to make simple modification in code to be able to download files in sequential mode (from beginning of the file). Then it will be possible to play video file without waiting to finish downloading whole file. I found solution for it - https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Can%20I%20sequence%20the%20files%20I%20download but it's from 7 years ago and in current version there is no function mentioned in link.
