Webtorrent not requesting pieces from peers when using a private tracker

[tab1293]

What version of WebTorrent?
^0.98.3

What operating system and Node.js version?
OS X 10.11.3 with Node v6.4.0

What did you expect to happen?
Expected peers to be found and pieces to be downloaded

What actually happened?
According to the stdout, no peers were added and no pieces were downloaded.

Here is the debug output logged from just running webtorrent download somefile.torrent

The log file looks like peer wire connections are being established and messages are being passed between me and other peers. I can't find any glaring differences between the linked debug log and another log from a public tracker which succeeds in downloading.

On packet inspection, I can tell that my client is becoming interested in other peers and those peers are unchoking me. It seems though that piece requests are never initiated by my client. Here is a look at an interaction with peer I was interested in:

Any idea why no further piece requests are made on the peer wire?

@feross any ideas on what may be causing this to happen?

Is #1054 related?

[tab1293]

@zephrax I don't believe that issue is related. I am not attempting to seed the file or download it within a browser.

I am unable to download a torrent from a private tracker while using the webtorrent command line program or the nodejs module.

Is there any additional information I can provide besides the debug output that could be useful? Maybe a pcap file or something?
