The good news is this is a very easy hack on pureos, everything is on the repos.
sudo apt install vlc vlc-plugin-bittorrent
VLC runs well enough especially if you tweak settings for performance, with the bittorrent plugin you can for example visit archive.org and stream to VLC rather than torrent download and keep media files from the Marion Stokes - Wikipedia archive. Internet Archive: Digital Library of Free & Borrowable Texts, Movies, Music & Wayback Machine you can watch VHS quality of the major networks 24/7 starting in 1979 with the Iran-US hostage crisis through 2012 when she recorded the Sandy Hook US school shooting while she was dying of natural causes.
Open VLC, click the ‘Media’ tab on the top left, and choose ‘Open Location from Clipboard’ then ctrl-v your magnet or torrent address, it will buffer and begin to play if the torrent is seeded.
