torrent-stream doesn't download torrent, correctly downloaded by uTorrent

[stiv-yakovenko]

var torrentStream = require('torrent-stream');

var engine = torrentStream('magnet:?xt=urn:btih:44A91362AFFF802F9058993B109C544ACC6B4813');

engine.on('ready', function(e) {
    engine.files.forEach(function(file) {
        console.log('filename:', file.name);
        var stream = file.createReadStream();
        // stream is readable stream to containing the file content
    });
});

This torrent is correctly downloaded by utorrent, but it doesn't work in nodejs. Any ideas why?

@stiv-yakovenko , noticed the problem on windows with a bunch of magnets, and i faced the same problem. Actually i made a pull request with a fix to it ( index.js), i hope you check it . https://github.com/mafintosh/torrent-stream/pull/178
