You also have to be aware that there are two programs out there for torrent-streaming matches:
1. StreamTorrent
2. Torrent Stream
StreamTorrent has links that look like this "st://..." and with Torrent Stream (which is based on the VLC player and can be accessed via a browser, although that didn't work out that great for me) you have to insert a content ID.
I got the StreamTorrent links via wizwig forum and since sopcast was acting up lately that russian sopcast site was showing content IDs/links for Torrent Stream instead of sopcast links.
Furthermore Torrent Stream was working pretty good with that VLC player solution. Really high quality and fluent streams.
