+Title: Updated vlc bittorrent plugin in Debian (version 2.14)

+
+<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>
