ECONNRESET

[Blixia]

I am getting the following error while I add a torrent to the client:

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: write ECONNRESET
    at errnoException (net.js:901:11)
    at Object.afterWrite (net.js:718:19)

I am not sure where to catch this error or where it is coming from?

Code used:

'use strict';

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

var client = new webTorrent();
var magnet = '';

client.add(magnet,function(torrent)
{
    client.on('torrent',function(torrent)
    {
        console.log(torrent.infoHash);
    });

    torrent.on('done',function()
    {
        console.log('done downloading');
        torrent.files.forEach(function(file)
        {
            file.getBuffer(function(err,buffer)
            {
                if(err) throw err;

                fs.appendFile('./downloads/'+file.name,buffer,function(err)
                {
                    if(err) return console.log(err);
                    console.log('appending');
                })
            });
        });
    });

    torrent.on('download', function(chunkSize)
    {
      console.log('chunk size: ' + chunkSize);
      console.log('total downloaded: ' + torrent.downloaded);
      console.log('download speed: ' + torrent.downloadSpeed);
      console.log('progress: ' + torrent.progress);
      console.log('======');
    });

});

@Blixia I added some extra checks to bittorrent-swarm so we're more defensive against remote sockets potentially closing without warning (which is the source of this error).

Can you re-install WebTorrent and try it out again? The problem should be gone, but don't hesitate to leave a comment here or open a new issue if you see this again.

I'm receiving this error when using the following snippet

 torrent.on('done', function(){
     const torrentPath = torrent.path;
        console.log('torrent finished downloading located at ',torrentPath);
        console.log("File count",torrent.files.length);
        var list = [];
        torrent.files.forEach(function(file){
            list.push(file.createReadStream());
           console.log(file.name);
        });

        client.seed(list,function(ntorrent){
            const magnetURI = ntorrent.magnetURI;
            console.log("magnetURI",magnetURI);

        });

      });

@anurupr Why are you calling client.seed on the same files after they are done? The client will automatically seed the files when the download is complete. No need for this extra code.

torrent.on('done', function () {
  const torrentPath = torrent.path
  console.log('Torrent finished downloading located at ', torrentPath)
  console.log('Torrent file count is ', torrent.files.length)
  console.log('Torrent magnet link is ', torrent.magnetURI)
})

@feross I apologize. I was not aware of that. Thanks for the help.

No problem!
