...

The riot chat feature looks cool enough- but how exactly is the torrent feature in VTR supposed to work?

Think uTorrent meets Monero, they get married and end up living together. That get's you on to the first page.

Then add Anon Social Network (Riot)
Then add basic chat (one off deals and transactions)
Then add MultiSig (Monero can't do that yet)
Then add 2FA to protect your wallet if you leave it open all the time
Then add Tor and I2P support
Then add classifieds market
Then add mobile support

That gets you to the same page as our expectations for the project over 2017.

Which of those points have been confirmed by the dev? I know he has talked about storing magnet links in the blockchain but nothing about a classified market yet? Would love to be wrong though. Also do you know if he has talked about making a lite client available in the future? I think that is important for mass adoption.

A lite client was a feature raised by the dev from very early on. It'll be on his post history somewhere.

Classifieds / market are a feature request I'd like to see implemented. If it doesn't get done in 2017 or early 2018, we can think about merging the Umbra market into a fork. Because a fork with a market is possible, someone will do it, so it might as well go on to the road map, provided everyone agrees it's a good feature to add.

edit

got me wondering if I had imagined it:
