Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bittorrent
Btshowmetainfo should check if the file is a bittorrent file before
trying to extract any information. As it is now it reads the whole file
into memory before trying to decode it. It the file is big, let's say a
700 MiB ISO-image, this will take a long time and the process can't even
be killed with "kill -9".
** Affects: bittorrent (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed

btshowmetainfo doesn't verify the file type
