Stop a download

[leeroybrun]

Hi,

Thanks for your module, it's very usefull and working great !

Is there an easy way to stop (cancel) a download ?

[tusharmath]

There is no easy way to do this as of now. The only way you can do it is as follows -

var mtd = require('mt-downloader');

var url = 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/Gadget_the_pug_expressive_eyes.jpg';
var file = './Gadget_the_pug_expressive_eyes.jpg';

var downloader = new mtd(file, url, {
    onStart: function (data) {
        data.threads.each(function(i){
            i.destroy();
        });
    }
});

downloader.start();

I hope this helps. I would be glad to merge a pull request which would make it easier.

It seems quite easy, just what I needed.
Thanks !

Is it safe to just destroy the threads? I implemented your proposal and sometimes I get a corrupted mtd file, which cannot be resumed.

I think you should send a destroy event to the thread

Yes, that's what I do. But my question is if it is safe do to so? Because sometimes I get corrupted mtd file, which can not be resumed...
