I watch movies I download. I know that I can wait until the file is completely downloaded. But I usually don't do so.
I usually open the partially downloaded file by VLC or other player. It shows me warning that the file is not complete and that seeking might not work correctly. (But it does work until I try to seek to forward to area of movie which wasn't downloaded yet.)
I do this usually immediately after starting download. At least I used to do so.
The Chrome browser have had small problem with this approach when the download was completed. The file is named sligtly differently. It has the suffix ".crdownload" and the file should be renamed after the download is completed. Which the browser couldn't do because the file was opened. So it showed the worning and I renamed the file manually.
Now I tried to use newer version of chrome and it doesn't work so flowlessly. At first sight it works. I wathed the movie. But when the download is completed it probably has again problem with renaming the file but now it has problem to even show me the warning and instead it deletes the downloaded contents and starts the download once again! What a nonsence. Is this a bug or a feature? Should I report the bug somewhere?
What should I do now? Use a different browser? I tried chromium browser. But the new versions behave the same and have the same problem.
Or should I use old verion of chrome and chromium? I have several years old version of them. I would love not to update and use that old browsers. But most webpages complain that they don't support so antient browsers.
So how do you do it?

Use wget for download, like:wget http://cclicence.film/myfavourite.mp4 -O- | tee myfav.mp4 | mpv -...or any download manager.

I know about wget and this would definitely work. But I still believe that it should be done more user friendly way - inside a browser. Like it used to be until now. Maybe I should really report a bug to chrome or chromium.

You haven't said what OS you're using, though thechromiumtag suggests it might be some form of Linux. If you're playing the file, I would not expect that that an open file could be deleted. My personal preference would be to copy the temporary file after it has been down-loading for a while, and play the copy. Depending on your level of impatience, by the time you get to the end of the copied segment the down-load may have completed, and you can resume your viewing from there. If not, copy again and play a bit more. Not exactly seamless, but minimum impact on down-load progress.

Oct 18 '16 at 22:11
I doubt it's a bug: I wouldn't think that playing current down-loads would be supported in any way. One more thought: if you're on Linux, make a hard link to the temporary file and play that (don't, of course, use the name and directory that the down-load will be renamed to).

I discovered, that you can change permission for file by right click - properties - security. You have to decline write permission for user, who runs chrome. Then the browser cannot start download again. Maybe runnig VLC by administrator account should help solve this problem as well.
