see,torents files are downloaded in parts.You can see the graph of file downloaded in the torrent.If all the parts of half is downloaded than you can watch the video.

when download is completed more than 50% u can try with vlc or GOM Player. sometimes vlc fails to play but GOM player plays it well. i do it almost everyday..

vlc or gom is d answer (though sumtimes dey both don play a file dat is 90%+ dwnloaded,don kno y)....
n u hv 2 pause bcoz otherwise d file wud b in use by sumotr applicatn(in this case ur torrent client),so u hv to pause it so that its not linked to ne othr thng n den u watch it
