  Description     : Bittorrent plugin for VLC

 VLC is the VideoLAN project's media player.
 .
 This plugin adds support streaming content using bittorrent, either by
 specifying a torrent file, or by providing a magnet link.

I've tested the code and made a draft package, and the plugin work.  I
contacted the author in
<URL: https://github.com/johang/vlc-bittorrent/issues/1 >, asking if he
want to get the source packaged.  If so, I hope he can be convinced to
tag releases and quickly fix bugs we discovver.

Happy hacking
