+tribler (anonymous search engine, video streaming, bittorrent client)
+
+Tribler is a Bittorrent-based video streaming client. You can watch
+video files, while you are still downloading them. It relies on VLC
+for playback of videos. Tribler also includes fast keyword search and
+thumbnail-based navigation. Tribler does not require websites or any
+central server to find and watch interesting content.
+
+Without vlc installed, tribler is a fully functional torrent client
+and search engine. If you want to stream videos, you will need vlc
+installed. This is an optional runtime dependency; you don't need to
+rebuild tribler if you decide to install vlc later on.
