Thanks for the report! This is actually a bug in nodebmc which webtorrent-cli depends on.

They have a call to JSON.parse() which they need to wrap in a try-catch block to prevent uncaught exceptions like this one. I sent them a PR: gtuk/nodebmc#1

PR was merged, now waiting for it get published to npm.

The fixed version is on npm now. This should be fixed.
