+ <p>A few hours ago, a new and improved version (2.4) of
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent">the VLC
+bittorrent plugin</a> was uploaded to Debian. This new version
+include a complete rewrite of the bittorrent related code, which seem
+to make the plugin non-blocking. This mean you can actually exit VLC
+even when the plugin seem to be unable to get the bittorrent streaming
+started. The new version also include support for filtering playlist
+by file extension using command line options, if you want to avoid
+processing audio, video or images. The package is currently in Debian
+unstable, but should be available in Debian testing in two days. To
+test it, simply install it like this:</p>
+
+<p><pre>
+apt install vlc-plugin-bittorrent
+</pre></p>
+
+<p>After it is installed, you can try to use it to play a file
+downloaded live via bittorrent like this:
+
+<p><pre>
+vlc https://archive.org/download/Glass_201703/Glass_201703_archive.torrent
+</pre></p>
