Preload movie from remote storage - vranik - 2013-04-01
I'm asking for feature which i miss in xbmc. I have remote ftp storage of movies, link to this storage is not fast enought to watch movies directly online. So i miss some feature, which i can use to start downloading to local storage for later. So i could start watching movie when half of it is downloaded to ma local (temporary) storage...

Not really a solution to what you're asking for, but you can set <cachememorybuffer>0</cachememorybuffer> in advancedsettings.xml and then xbmc will buffer the entire file to the hard drive. I helps a lot if your files stop to buffer again and again while you're watching. Not sure where the file gets stored, might be you could grab it once it's fully buffered.
More info can be found here:
