  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I am very happy to report that a new version of the
  15 &lt;a href=&quot;https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/vlc-plugin-bittorrent&quot;&gt;VLC
  16 bittorrent plugin&lt;/a&gt; was just uploaded into debian.  The changes
  17 since last time is mostly code clean in the download code. The package
  18 is currently in Debian unstable, but should be available in Debian
  19 testing son.  To test it, simply install it like this:&lt;/p&gt;
  20
  21 &lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
  22 apt install vlc-plugin-bittorrent
  23 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  24
  25 &lt;p&gt;After it is installed, you can try to use it to play a file
  26 downloaded live via bittorrent like this:
  27
  28 &lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
  29 vlc https://archive.org/download/Glass_201703/Glass_201703_archive.torrent
  30 &lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  31
  32 &lt;p&gt;It can also use magnet links and local .torrent files like the ones
  33 provided by the Internet Archive.  Another example is the &lt;a
  34 href=&quot;https://archive.org/details/LoveNest&quot;&gt;Love Nest&lt;/a&gt; Buster
  35 Keaton movie, where one can click on the &#39;Torrent&#39; link to get going.&lt;/p&gt;
  36
  37 &lt;p&gt;As usual, if you use Bitcoin and want to show your support of my
  38 activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
  39 &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
