After updating to version 3.2.0-1 sequential download does not work as it used to. I can't open/preview the video unless I download it 100%. It seems that it starts the sequential download from the point you enable it, even though the first and last piece gets checked too it doesnt seem to dl the missing first pieces. I tried different videos, even the ones that I used sequential download before with the 3.1.12 version.
This task depends upon

Seems to work fine for me. I enabled sequential download after it had downloaded about 5% of a 750 MiB MP4 file.

Perhaps try with default settings to see if the issue persists (temporarily move ~/.config/qBittorrent somewhere else).

I noticed that when i click sequential download (download first and last piece gets clicked auto), the result is always that of the attached pic, every time regardless of the video.

On the other hand, if i click only 'dl first and last piece first' it gets the job done as shown in pic2, and i'm able to actually preview the video without the need to download 100% of it.

Default settings work here too. You can reproduce the issue by unchecking the UPnP / NAT-PMP port forward.

The issue reappeared again.

The only option different than the default options that could have an impact is that I disable the bandwidth management (uTP).

Otherwise, it could be random.

I noticed this, if you check sequential download option, it gets checked along with 'download first and last piece' but that's not really checked, if you restart the app you will notice that the 'download first and last piece' option is unchecked. So by checking sequential download, it doesn't really enable 'download first and last piece' even though the checkmark is virtually there for the app's session.
