client.add(infoHash [in hex]) doesn't appear to work.

[mikeal]

• WebTorrent version:
  latest as of today :)
• Node.js version:
  6.x cause I'm a responsible developer :P
• Browser name/version (if using WebTorrent in the browser):
  Chrome 53

The docs say client.add() will work with an infoHash hex but it's not working for me. I literally seed a file in one tab and try to get it in another and it can't load the metadata. If i swap that out for a magnet url it works great.

Have you set the torrent trackers ?

[mikeal]

nope. if seed() defaults to a few trackers why doesn't add() default to the same trackers when none are specified?

Oh interesting, thanks! :)

@alxhotel Thanks for linking to the rationale for the decision.

@mikeal Do you think this decision is a bit confusing? Maybe we should keep parallel behavior between seed() and add() when it comes to omitting trackers?

Happy to reconsider the decision if you think it is confusing for new users.

[mikeal]

@feross I think it is confusing for sure, having the same behavior, or possibly giving a warning when omitting any trackers, would clear it up. I get why not having default trackers is a good idea, I just think it would be good to be consistent.

@mikeal Did you specify at least 1 custom tracker? If not, then this is a bug, as it should add the default ones.

[deamme]

@DiegoRBaquero I think it's a bug because it doesn't add the default ones when a tracker is not specified. It works great with magnetURI though.

EDIT:
After some more reading - I think this works as intended..
@feross I agree with @mikeal
