# BTFS (bittorrent filesystem)
## What is this?
With BTFS, you can mount any **.torrent** file or **magnet link** and then use it as any read-only directory in your file tree. The contents of the files will be downloaded on-demand as they are read by applications. Tools like **ls**, **cat** and **cp** works as expected. Applications like **vlc** and **mplayer** can also work without changes.
## Example usage
$ mkdir mnt
$ btfs video.torrent mnt
$ cd mnt
$ vlc video.mp4
To unmount and shutdown:
$ fusermount -u mnt
