+ <description><p>I am very happy to report that a new version of the
+<a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent">VLC
+bittorrent plugin</a> was just uploaded into debian. The changes
+since last time is mostly code clean in the download code. The package
+is currently in Debian unstable, but should be available in Debian
+testing son. 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>
+
+<p>It can also use magnet links and local .torrent files like the ones
+provided by the Internet Archive. Another example is the <a
+href="https://archive.org/details/LoveNest">Love Nest</a> Buster
+Keaton movie, where one can click on the 'Torrent' link to get going.</p>

- <description><p>I have neglected the Valutakrambod library for a while, but decided
-this weekend to give it a face lift. I fixed a few minor glitches in
-several of the service drivers, where the API had changed since I last
-looked at the code. I also added support for fetching the order book
-from the newcomer Norwegian Bitcoin Exchange.</p>
-
-<p>I also decided to migrate the project from github to gitlab in the
-process. If you want a python library for talking to various currency
-exchanges, check out

-valutakrambod</a>.</p>

-<p>Yes, I notice the negative spread on Hitbtc. Either I fail to
-understand their Websocket API or they are sending bogus data. I've
-seen the same with Kraken, and suspect there is something wrong with
-the data they send.</p>
