Run exe file after downloading

[green13]

Hello.
I use webtorrent in node, os windows 8.1.
I'm trying to run downloaded .exe file (webtorrent is running) and get the error "file is locked by another process".

Hi @green13, thanks for reporting this issue. Does this work with other torrent clients? Can you open up .exe files that are being seeded by uTorrent, for example?

This works with uTorrent. I can open up .exe files that are being seeded.

Any news on this?

I guess that the reason is we need write file descriptor (fd) which block file reading, but after loading finish we need only read fd rights . So after finish we must free write fd (maby even before finish event).

Real kung fu is to request when we will request write rd only when we really need to write and close if we dont need, by using throtling by data length and time (for e.g. not often than 500kb and not ofter than 0.5s)

Call torrent.store.close helps.
