That's close but I want arbitrary BT files, not a hand curated content selection.

You can use peerflix[1] for that, eg:

    peerflix "magnet:?xt=urn:btih:44052304ac07aa461b4828c63c52a44f34df2ce7&dn=FIFA.World.Cup.2014.Group.B.Spain.vs.Netherlands.720p.HDTV.x264-&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337"

And then watch at http://localhost:8888 with your favorite player.

In PopcornTime, you can drag and drop arbitrary BT files.

This doesn't seem to work in the latest version.

There are now several forks with different features.

If you're referring to Time 4 Popcorn, that's not it. It's also malware.
