Started transferring files to my external hard drive and it corrupted v. anything I can do?
There are some utilities for mounting sparse disk images in user space (FUSE), but I don't have any experience with it. github: SparseBundleFS which seems to have a pretty good README which may help (depending on your familiarity with the terminal and installing stuff from homebrew ).

TabFS – a browser extension that mounts the browser tabs as a filesystem
Something in a similar vein: BTFS, mount a torrent file (or magnet link) as a read only drive https://github.com/johang/btfs

Did you know of the BitTorrent FileSystem?
Github Page
-
BiglyBT is a feature filled, open source, ad-free, BitTorrent client
Some systems are more appropriate than just those options, but it requires player cooperation.
For instance on Android, NOVA Video Player supports torrent streaming. Or btplay from https://github.com/johang/btfs .
The way they work is better for the network, because it asks only for the N next MB from current position to be available ASAP, but the rest can be downloaded randomly to help the network like a standard client would do.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing sparsebundlefs and btfs you can also consider the following projects:
s3fs-fuse - FUSE-based file system backed by Amazon S3
distribyted - Torrent client with HTTP, fuse, and WebDAV interfaces. Start exploring your torrent files right away, even zip, rar, or 7zip archive contents!
