I have windows XP and the latest Windows Media Player, and it will view incomplete downloads of mpegs. I don't have any other incomplete files on my computer, so I couldn't test it against anything but the mpegs.

If you use p2p to download you nead to have the beginning of the file and the end otherwise it won't play.Even a preview. It also depends on how much of the file you have got, in my experience. I haven't found a freeware tool that will fix mpegs that works yet but Divfix works for Divx AVI files quite well.
