It can handle videos and other streamable formats if there are enough seeds: the connection is not usually a problem. The pieces are not downloaded strictly sequentially but using a sliding window[1], so if a piece is not immediately available btfs will not waste time and bandwidth waiting for it but just keep downloading other pieces nearby.
The problem is until enough pieces have been assembled, applications reading the file may literally hang: I guess not much software was made with slow I/O in mind.
