I am new to nodejs. When i tried to run the below code, it not giving me the correct out put. according to me the below program will generate a 'tmp.torrent' file . But it is not happening.

What I have tried:

var Torrent = require('webseeded-torrent-generator');
var fs = require('fs');
var base = 'http://ia700201.us.archive.org/6/items/';
var name = 'jj2005-02-27.fm.shnf';
var files = [
    'jj2005-02-27.fm.d1.md5',
    'jj2005-02-27.fm.d1.txt'
];
 
var torrent = new Torrent(base, name, files);
torrent.getMetadata().then(function (buf) {
    fs.writeFileSync('tmp.torrent', buf);
});

Hi,

seems you are not handling error, and probably there are some connectivity issues, I suppose

torrent.getMetadata().then(function data (buf) {
  fs.writeFileSync('tmp.torrent', buf)
}, function err (err) {
  console.log('ERR', err)
})

see error, handle it...
