I am using the examples files and i tried a url with a port and it does not work, always tries port 80.
Is this in your packages or in the mt-downloader package?

Thanks.

Is there any option to server file to down at client side, not in server

I don't if this package is compatible with Electron js or not. But I give it a try anyway.
And I got this error:

Uncaught Exception:
Error: Uncaught, unspecified "error" event. ([object Object])
    at Download.emit (events.js:163:17)
    at options.onEnd (/....../node_modules/mt-files-downloader/lib/Download.js:308:18)
    at taskCallback (/....../node_modules/mt-downloader/node_modules/async/lib/async.js:443:21)
    at /....../node_modules/mt-downloader/lib/core/DownloadReaderAsyncTask.js:36:4
    at FSReqWrap.wrapper [as oncomplete] (fs.js:675:17)

Any ideal why?

When the download finishes i am unable to do files action such as move/del the downloaded file(s).
I assume somewhere when the download is finished the file handler is not released. only if i close the program that runs the downloader then i can do the specified actions.

please elaborate.

P.S thanks for this great lib!

Hi all,
I have an issue about download 7z file:
My option:

        dl.setOptions({
            threadsCount: 5,    // Default: 2, Set the total number of download threads
            method: 'GET',      // Default: GET, HTTP method
            port: 80,           // Default: 80, HTTP port
            timeout: 10000,     // Default: 5000, If no data is received, the download times out (milliseconds)
            range: '0-100',     // Default: 0-100, Control the part of file that needs to be downloaded.
        });

Handle event:

        dl.on('error', function () {
            logger.error(`Download error: ${dl.error}`);
            reject(
                {
                    error: dl.error,
                    return: null
                }
            );
        });
        dl.on('end', function () {
            logger.info(`Download done: ${local_file}`);
            resolve(`Remote: ${remote_file}. Local: ${local_file}`);
        });

Then i call start download file.
This file type is 7z, i will extract it when finished, so when resolve statement of promise, i call extractor tool. But i got an exception:

System ERROR:
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

I think downloader not yet finished at "end" event. Check my local folder, the downloaded file is corrupted.
Have you solution for this?
Thanks for reading.

Hello,
mt-files-downloader hapilly downloads error pages instead of content. For example if server returns 404 .
I think error should be raised instead.

Hi, just want to ask if it support REST? I have a Java Server where it can stream files.. but it seems that if I use this module.. the output file is always 5KB only :D

We should update the dependency and check that the module is still working.

Am having a Spring - Java Application which is running in the Linux Server. But the user will be accessing this application from the client machine which may be windows using a browser. Now the file will be downloaded to the users PC.
How can I make that happen in a faster method ? can I use this?

Is there a way to do this via the command line?

Add tests to ensure everything is working when doing changes or updating dependencies.

I'm getting an error that too many files have been opened. This happens when I try to download many files. I was downloading the files in some queue so when some files are downloaded I'm getting next one. The thing is that after downloading 912 files this error occurs. Main question is there any way to force to close the file once it has been downloaded, or should I destroy the "Downloader" or "download" somehow ?, if so how to ?

Hello,
I've tested, it works fine with http but https doesnt support even when I set port is 443 in options.
ex: https://wordpress.org/latest.zip
Please update and fix this issue
Thanks

Could you please help me trace the issue:

If I download a file without resuming in any way, it works pretty much 100%

However, the moment the file is resumed, its luck of the draw with most of the time the file throwing an error

The first time I received this error:
DEMO - Resuming download...
EVENT - Download 1 error !
[Error: Invalid file path: c:/test/10MBtest.bin.mtd]
Download 1 error : Error: Invalid file path: c:/test/10MBtest.bin.mtd

The file was there, don't know why it was locked out.

The second time is the main issue I am facing:
EVENT - Download 1 error !
{ [Error: EPERM, ftruncate] errno: -4048, code: 'EPERM' }
Download 1 error : Error: EPERM, ftruncate

The file can balloon from 4-20 x its original size.

Here's my test code, the file name can be set to 100MBtest.bin if your speed is to fast to receive the issue:

var os   = require('os');
var path = require('path');
var Downloader = require('mt-files-downloader');


// Create new downloader
var downloader = new Downloader();

var fileUrl = 'http://speedtest.reliableservers.com/10MBtest.bin';
//var fileSavePath = path.join(os.tmpdir(), 'mtFileDlTest1.zip');
var fileSavePath = 'c:/test/10MBtest.bin';
console.log('File will be downloaded from '+ fileUrl +' to '+ fileSavePath);

// Start download
var dl = downloader.download(fileUrl, fileSavePath);

// Import generic examples for handling events and printing stats
require('./_handleEvents')(dl);
require('./_printStats')(dl);

dl.start();

dl.on('start', function() {
    console.log('Download started with '+ ((dl.meta.threads) ? dl.meta.threads.length : 0) +' threads.')
});

// Wait 10s before stopping and then 4s before resuming download
cycle();

function cycle() {
    setTimeout(function() {
        console.log('DEMO - Stopping download... will be resumed in 2s');

        dl.stop();

        setTimeout(function() {
            console.log('DEMO - Resuming download...');
            dl.resume();
            cycle();
        }, 2000);
    }, 5000);
}

The only other changes I made to your base code is to set the default threads to 6. I had them at 16 but found it replicated at lower numbers as well.

Hi,

I am trying to achieve an image download manager via electron. I have implemented the mt-files-downloader and attempted a simple implementation. The file downloads fine but displays the text "it looks like you don't have permission to view this file. Check the permissions and try again". When I copy the file to another Drive, the file opens fine.

My previous implementation with "request" module worked fine and I could open the files at the same location.

Any suggestion to which direction I should take to figure out the problem?

Hi,

I'm getting this error while running the sample download scripts. I saw an .mtd file is creating on my destination directory. After few seconds it is failing. The error is

Error: The .mtd file is corrupt. Start a new download.
at module.exports (/home/testmachine/node_modules/mt-downloader/lib/Exceptions.js:83:33)
at /home/testmachine/node_modules/mt-downloader/lib/core/DownloadReaderAsyncTask.js:36:13
at FSReqWrap.wrapper [as oncomplete] (fs.js:602:17)

when i resume a download, at the 99.9% get this error:
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, ftruncate

do u know what is the problem? how can i fix this !?!?

Say I want to download 100 files.

Do I start the 100 downloads and everything else is automatically managed?
