Currently (Feb 2013) MuPDF ignores the fact that PDFs are linearised. It jumps straight to the end to read the trailer/xref dictionary there. This means that MuPDF wouldn't be able to open a PDF file until it had entirely downloaded anyway.

I have code on a local branch to add this facility to MuPDF, but it's not ready for release yet, hence it's not in 1.2. Watch out for it in 1.3 due in August, hopefully. Or watch the git repo to see it appear earlier (other priorities permitting).
