Hello, this is a really nice package and thank you for bringing it.
I have a question, perhaps a silly, did not dig into the internals yet.
Is it possible to continue downloading a file from torrent/magnet link after navigating away from actual page? Closing tab?
Thanks, I'd like to receive any help on this (maybe implementing if not supported).
@asapach commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2018):
Sure, all the work is happening in the Node process, so it will keep downloading until you terminate it. Browser is just the UI.
@dachinat commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2018):
@asapach, thanks for replying. Right now when I click on Download button, a progress-bar will appear and an actual download will start (in Chrome downloads), however if I close the window (tab) where progress-bar appears, download terminates.
Is it something with my configuration or is this expected? I'd like to continue downloading file when that window (tab) is closed. Thanks.

I'm afraid I lost you:
You mean this Download button?
There should be nothing in Chrome downloads until you click the file link.
@dachinat commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2018):
@asapach Right, "when you click the file link", sorry my bad. So, download will start when you click the file link, however when I close a tab where I made a click, download stops, in Chrome download progress it freezes.

Generally I use
peerflix-serverfor video, and as such I don't download the files, but instead use video streaming either in the browser for MP4, or using VLC: https://www.vlchelp.com/stream-online-videos-pc-vlc-media-player/@asapach commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2018):
I've just tried downloading in Chrome anyway: when you close the tab it keeps downloading - it can take a while, because, you know, peer-to-peer.
When you close the browser, there's nothing I can do to keep the download running, sorry.
@dachinat commented on GitHub (Jul 21, 2018):
Yes, of course, I'm aware. I was talking about tab.
There's something with my configuration then, thanks a lot for looking into this.
I'll try to get it working. Thanks!
