Functions are not working

[guigaoliveira]

The functions torrent.timeRemaining, torrent.downloadSpeed (), torrent.uploadSpeed (), are not working for me, all display the result = 0; I put the functions inside the client.download function

Please share the code you're using, or there's no way to help you.

Also, note that in the latest version, the function were just changed to getters:

torrent.downloadSpeed
torrent.uploadSpeed

My code:

var WebTorrent = require('webtorrent');
var fs = require('fs');

var client = new WebTorrent();
var torrentId =magnet_url; // link
var counter=1;

client.download(torrentId, function (torrent) 
{
  console.log('Torrent magnet link:', torrent.magnetURI);
  console.log(torrent.timeRemaining);
  console.log(torrent.downloadSpeed);
  torrent.files.forEach(function (file) 
  {
    // get mp4 files
    if(file.path.indexOf("mp4") !=-1) 
    {
    var source = file.createReadStream();
    var destination = fs.createWriteStream('docs/'+file.name);
    source.pipe(destination);
    // finish 
    destination.on('finish', function() 
    {
        console.log(file.name)
        if(counter===torrent.files.length)
        {
         client.destroy(function callback (err) {})
          return console.log('finish');
        }
        else
        {
         counter++;
        }
    });
   }
   })

 return false;
})

torrent.timeRemaining = infinity
torrent.downloadSpeed = 0

Maybe, because there's no peers for that torrent, so the download doesn't start and the time reimaining is not calculated.
Try checking the number of peers:

console.log(torrent.swarm.numPeers)

[guigaoliveira]

No, I checked and there are 43 peers. I don't know the cause of this.

Please read this part of the FAQ:

Why does browser downloading not work? I see no peers!

It does work! But you can't just use any random magnet uri or .torrent file. The torrent must be seeded by a WebRTC-capable client, i.e. webtorrent-hybrid, instant.io, or Playback.

In the browser, WebTorrent can only download torrents that are explicitly seeded to web peers via a WebRTC-capable client. Desktop torrent clients need to support WebRTC to connect to web browsers.
