Not downloading when using private tracker

[zephrax]

Hi,

I've started the simple private tracker with torrent-tracker:

╰─○ ./node_modules/bittorrent-tracker/bin/cmd.js HTTP tracker: http://localhost:8000/announce UDP tracker: udp://0.0.0.0:8000 UDP6 tracker: udp://localhost:8000 WebSocket tracker: ws://localhost:8000 Tracker stats: http://localhost:8000/stats

Also started another process to seed the file:

var WebTorrent = require('webtorrent'); var client = new WebTorrent(); var file = '/home/zephrax/Vuze Downloads/Test.mp4'; var options = { announce : [ 'http://localhost:8000/announce', 'udp://127.0.0.1:8000', 'ws://localhost:8000' ] }; client.seed(file, options, function(torrent) { console.log('Client is seeding:', torrent.infoHash) });

And finally, I wrote a little html to be loaded by the browser, with the following code:
`` var client = new WebTorrent();
var magnetURI = 'magnet:?xt=urn:btih:11d68fffe54198b07093e3bac796d4adcf15bfd6&dn=Test.mp4&tr=ws%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8000&tr=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8000%2Fannounce&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8000';

          client.on('error', function (err) {
              console.error('ERROR: ' + err.message);
          }); 
          
          client.on('torrent', function (data) {
              console.log(data);
          }); 
          
          client.add(magnetURI, function (torrent) {
            console.log('Client is downloading:', torrent.infoHash);
            
            torrent.files.forEach(function (file) {
              file.appendTo('body');
            })
          });``

I can see the WebSocket comminicating, but it never starts downloading the file:

Am I doing something wrong? or this could be an issue?

Are you using webtorrent-hybrid to seed? Because it won't work with plain webtorrent in nodejs

Nice tip, with webtorrent-hybrid it worked perfectly. Thanks!
