What version of this package are you using?
DEBUG INFO: webtorrent-cli 4.1.0, webtorrent 1.9.6,
What operating system, Node.js, and npm version?
Win10 21H2 19044.2364, node v18.1.0, npm 8.9.0
What happened?
I was trying to download a torrent which decided it wanted to name the folder with an illegal character in the name like "Blah: Oogie Boogie". I assume webtorrent-cli is parsing the name of the torrent in its metadata as using something like transmission-show will show something like
Name: Blahblah boOoo: Snoo Bee Booo (1994) [1080p]What did you expect to happen?
In windows, using ":" character is not allowed in the folder name. If webtorrent-cli is getting the name from the metadata in .torrent/magnet/etc it should properly parse out illegal characters so it doesn't conflict when it creates a folder based on the name. In another bittorrent client, I have downloaded the .torrent and also the magnet link and it looks like they've converted ":" to "" for both the folder it creates and any files that may inherit illegal chars.
Are you willing to submit a pull request to fix this bug?
I'm not knowledgeable enough to make the changes but I think adding:
`torrent.name = torrent.name.replace(/:/g, ""); above ``line(chalk{green ${seeding ? 'Seeding' : 'Downloading'}:} {bold ${torrent.name}})`` and ``let fileName = torrent.files[index].name; fileName = fileName.replace(/:/g, "_"); let encodedFileName = encodeURIComponent(fileName); href +=/${index}/${encodedFileName}; `` in place of: ``` href +=/${index}/${encodeURIComponent(torrent.files[index].name)}` ` Helped me resolve the problem with the filename, but not the folder names as I still get this error: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir 'H:\Programming\watch\Blahblah boOoo: Snoo Bee Booo (1994) [1080p]'``
Where do I need to .replace the text that it's using for folder names?
