Not working on node.js (what am I doing wrong?)

[elad]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a torrent in one process and download it in another.

Here's my seed.js:

var WebTorrent = require('webtorrent');

var client = new WebTorrent();

var file = process.argv[2];

client.seed(file, function (torrent) {
  console.log('seeding:', torrent.infoHash, 'magnetURI:', torrent.magnetURI);
});

Here's my download.js:

var WebTorrent = require('webtorrent');

var client = new WebTorrent();

var magnetURI = process.argv[2];

client.add(magnetURI, function (torrent) {
  console.log('downloading:', torrent.infoHash);

  torrent.files.forEach(function (file) {
    var source = file.createReadStream();
    var destination = fs.createWriteStream('downloads/' + file.name);
    source.pipe(destination);
  });
});

In the shell, I type:

echo 'hello world' > hello.txt
node seed.js hello.txt

And get this output:

seeding: 7b5e918f364908afab937ecdd84059dfb61102b7 magnetURI: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7b5e918f364908afab937ecdd84059dfb61102b7&dn=hello.txt&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.webtorrent.io%3A80&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.webtorrent.io

In another terminal, I use the above magnet URI:

mkdir downloads
node download.js 'magnetURI: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:7b5e918f364908afab937ecdd84059dfb61102b7&dn=hello.txt&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.webtorrent.io%3A80&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.webtorrent.io'

But the transfer never happens.

What am I doing wrong?

Other info: I'm doing this test on Mac OS X, using two terminal windows. The computer is behind a NAT.

I started my own tracker that didn't filter anything and things started working. My fault, sorry for the noise!
