Have been testing webtorrent for about a week now, and it suddenly stopped working correctly for me. After launching webtorrent from the commandline as always, it is stuck displaying ‘Fetching torrent metadata from 0 peers’.
Using a torrent file works and starts the download immediately. Weird thing is that I installed peerflix and that’s also stuck at fetching metadata. This gives me the impression that something on my system must be blocking something about the magnet links. Anybody got any idea on how to even start debugging this?

When I use the DEBUG=* prefix everything seems to run fine, until it just stops at a message something like this:

bittorrent-dht [956b745] got unexpected message from 76.110.37.254:6881 {"r":{"id":{"type":"Buffer","data":[222,60,114,94,121, etc...

Ok seems like this is fixed. Was testing a magnet link that had a capitalised hash:
72F242DB89E763B6CE390F25D576195C2169B149

When I changed this to lowercase everything seems to work fine!
