Actually, I think there are more downsides to sequential downloading of files over BitTorrent and using Popcorn Time.

1. Sequential downloading is bad, especially for small swarms: http://wiki.vuze.com/w/Sequential_downloading_is_bad

2. Depending on user's internet connecton, using Popcorn Time might be bad for torrent health: https://masterex.github.io/archive/2014/03/31/popcorn-time-maybe-harmful.html Plus it uses sequential downloading.

Although these issues become less relevant for healthy torrents with big swarms, they still pose important ethical implications (in the BitTorrent ethics sense).
