FAQ
Does it upload/share/seed while playing?
Yes. It works as a regular Bittorrent client. It will upload as long as it's playing.
Does it work on Ubuntu/Debian?
Yes!
Does it work on Windows, Mac OS X, Android, Windows RT, iOS, my toaster?
Probably. I have not tested. It should run since libtorrent works on most systems and the plugin is just standard C and C++. Patches are welcome.
