+		<description>&lt;p&gt;Back in February, I got curious to see
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Using_VLC_to_stream_bittorrent_sources.html&quot;&gt;if
+VLC now supported Bittorrent streaming&lt;/a&gt;.  It did not, despite the
+fact that the idea and code to handle such streaming had been floating
+around for years.  I did however find
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/johang/vlc-bittorrent&quot;&gt;a standalone plugin
+for VLC&lt;/a&gt; to do it, and half a year later I decided to wrap up the
+plugin and get it into Debian.  I uploaded it to NEW a few days ago,
+and am very happy to report that it
+&lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent&quot;&gt;entered
+Debian&lt;/a&gt; a few hours ago, and should be available in Debian/Unstable
+tomorrow, and Debian/Testing in a few days.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;With the vlc-plugin-bittorrent package installed you should be able
+to stream videos using a simple call to&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+vlc https://archive.org/download/TheGoat/TheGoat_archive.torrent
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;/p&gt;It can handle magnet links too.  Now if only native vlc had
+bittorrent support.  Then a lot more would be helping each other to
+share public domain and creative commons movies.  The plugin need some
+stability work with seeking and picking the right file in a torrent
+with many files, but is already usable.  Please note that the plugin
+is not removing downloaded files when vlc is stopped, so it can fill
+up your disk if you are not careful.  Have fun. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I would love to get help maintaining this package.  Get in touch if
+you are interested.&lt;/p&gt;

-		<description>&lt;p&gt;So far, at least hydro-electric power, coal power, wind power,
-solar power, and wood power are well known.  Until a few days ago, I
-had never heard of stone power.  Then I learn about a quarry in a
-mountain in
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremanger&quot;&gt;Bremanger&lt;/a&gt; i
-Norway, where
-&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bontrup.com/en/activities/raw-materials/bremanger-quarry/&quot;&gt;the
-Bremanger Quarry&lt;/a&gt; company is extracting stone and dumping the stone
-into a shaft leading to its shipping harbour.  This downward movement
-in this shaft is used to produce electricity.  In short, it is using
-falling rocks instead of falling water to produce electricity, and
-according to its own statements it is producing more power than it is
-using, and selling the surplus electricity to the Norwegian power
-grid.  I find the concept truly amazing.  Is this the worlds only
-stone power plant?&lt;/p&gt;
