prep-piece-requests

NOTICE!

This repository is deprecated - please use torrent-piece-handler here: https://github.com/CraigglesO/torrent-piece-handler.git

Torrents have different pieces sizes. This will manage those differences

Quickly and easily prep for downloads without polluting your code.

Most Bittorent protocols only allow 16kb requests. As such we have to bundle requests if piece sizes are too large.

Features:

• Handles all the parts to each piece
• Last piece size is handled as well
• Gives you the number of parts in the piece request so you can track incoming parts.
• One command is all it takes.

Install

npm install prep-piece-requests

Usage

import PPR from 'prep-piece-requests';


// Total length of torrent: 962416635
// Size of each piece:      1048576
// Number of pieces:        918
// Last piece size:         872443

const ppr = new PPR(962416635, 1048576, 918, 872443);


// First piece:
let r = ppr.prepareRequest(0, (buf, count) => {

  });
r.count // -> 64

r.resultBuf
// Prior to concat it looks like this:
// [ <Buffer 00 00 00 0d 06>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 0d 06>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 40 00>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 0d 06>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 40 00>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 0d 06>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00 00 c0 00 00 00 40 00>,
//  ...
// <Buffer 00 00 00 0d 06>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00 0f 40 00 00 00 40 00>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 0d 06>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00 0f 80 00 00 00 40 00>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 0d 06>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00 0f c0 00 00 00 40 00> ]



// Last piece:
let r2 = ppr.prepareRequest(917, (buf, count) => {
  
  });
r2.count // -> 54

r2.resultBuf
// Prior to concat it looks like this:
// [ <Buffer 00 00 00 0d 06>,
// <Buffer 00 00 03 95 00 00 00 00 00 00 40 00>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 0d 06>,
// <Buffer 00 00 03 95 00 00 40 00 00 00 40 00>,

// <Buffer 00 00 03 95 00 00 80 00 00 00 40 00>,
// <Buffer 00 00 00 0d 06>,
// <Buffer 00 00 03 95 00 00 c0 00 00 00 40 00>,
