bittorrent2player - watch torrent movies online
Technically, it converts the BitTorrent protocol to the HTTP protocol. Of course, it transmits files of any type, not just video. CLI. To start a playback:
bittorrent2player --hash-file=/tmp/movie.torrent --save-path=/tmp
mplayer -cache 8192 -cache-min 99 http://127.0.0.1:17580/movie.avi
To view the contents of the torrent, with hyperlinks to files:
gnome-open http://127.0.0.1:17580/
Its man page is the only documentation. Many thanks to authors of "libtorrent-rasterbar", especially for their excellent documentation. This program in AUR.

Not very legal I guess, but I'll take a look at it, seems interesting

Re: bittorrent2player - watch torrent movies online
Why doesn't it look legal? Bittorrent is not a synonym for illegal file sharing - regardless of what some people would like to make you believe. There is a lot of legal stuff out there as well. As always: it's just a question of how you use it.

That was supposed to be a joke, I see now that it doesn't read that way. Pardon me!

It preserves the coefficient of legality.
