The other post, Streaming the torrent's file(s) -- how to ,
explains streaming guidelines and advanced streaming.
In this post I wish to explain how simple it can be to stream files.
1.) Torrent should be paused.
2.) Set Streaming Mode to FORCED with either the GUI or the web client.
GUI ( Peers 999 )
Web Client ( Streaming Forced )
3.) First set the file to Don't download.
Then back to download ( any priority ).
So you'll be using the menu twice.
with the web client UN-check/check the file(s) or use Deselect All / Select All buttons
4.) Start the Torrent.
5.) Wait a minute or two for buffering, then begin play with your favorite media player.
That's all there is to it!

I suggest for the playback of your streaming that you use
"Media Player Classic Home Cinema: MPC-HC"
http://mpc-hc.org/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpc-hc/
This I have used with great success.

There is with the 2015-05-06 release a new settings.json setting
"stream-mode-default": 0,
change to whatever you want for a default when a torrent is added
and you won't need to toggle the files to begin streaming.
TR_STREAMING_OFF = 0,
TR_STREAMING_WEAK = 1,
TR_STREAMING_PRIORITY = 2,
TR_STREAMING_WEIGHTED = 3,
TR_STREAMING_FORCED = 4,
You can alter the settings via the shift Admin
or shift Trackers and Que portion of the web client.
http://sourceforge.net/p/transmissiondaemon/discussion/general/thread/b4eea1a5/
In the Session window you will see all available
settings that can be changed. You don't need to stop
the daemon for the settings to take effect.
Or, you can stop the daemon, then edit
settings.json directly.
