Torrent not being added

[tiagommferreira]

What version of WebTorrent?
0.98.18

What operating system and Node.js version?
Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Node.js v7.9.0

What did you expect to happen?
I expected the example code (shown bellow) to download the torrent to the destination folder

var WebTorrent = require('webtorrent')

var client = new WebTorrent()

var magnetURI = 'https://webtorrent.io/torrents/sintel.torrent'

client.add(magnetURI, { path: '/path/to/folder' }, function (torrent) {
  console.log("Downloaded torrent metadata")
  torrent.on('done', function () {
    console.log('torrent download finished')
    clearInterval(interval);
  })
  var interval = setInterval(onProgress, 500)
  onProgress()

  // Statistics
  function onProgress () {
      // Peers
      console.log(torrent.numPeers + (torrent.numPeers === 1 ? ' peer' : ' peers'))

      // Progress
      var percent = Math.round(torrent.progress * 100 * 100) / 100
      console.log("Percentage: " + percent + "%")
      console.log("Downloaded: " + prettyBytes(torrent.downloaded))

      // Speed rates
      console.log("Download Speed: " + prettyBytes(torrent.downloadSpeed) + '/s')
  }

})

// Human readable bytes util
function prettyBytes(num) {
  var exponent, unit, neg = num < 0, units = ['B', 'kB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB', 'PB', 'EB', 'ZB', 'YB']
  if (neg) num = -num
  if (num < 1) return (neg ? '-' : '') + num + ' B'
  exponent = Math.min(Math.floor(Math.log(num) / Math.log(1000)), units.length - 1)
  num = Number((num / Math.pow(1000, exponent)).toFixed(2))
  unit = units[exponent]
  return (neg ? '-' : '') + num + ' ' + unit
}

What actually happened?
Torrent is not being downloaded, code in the client add function is not being called.

It does work for me.

Can you please run the code with the env variable DEBUG set to *?

You can do this with the following command: DEBUG=* node myFile.js

@DiegoRBaquero The output of that command in this file
