🔍 Code Review: Magnet to Direct Converter

🎯 Project Overview

This app is like a universal translator for downloads - it converts magnet links into direct download links. Let's see how this magic works under the hood!

🏗️ Architecture Overview

Frontend (The Pretty Part 💅)

// public/app.js - The brains of the operation
let activeDownloadId = null;
let statusCheckInterval = null;

function startDownload() {
    // 1. Get magnet link
    // 2. Send to API
    // 3. Start progress tracking
    // 4. Update UI
}

Backend (The Heavy Lifter 🏋️)

// api/index.js - Where the magic happens
const client = new WebTorrent();
const downloads = new Map();

handler.post('/api/download', (req, res) => {
    // 1. Accept magnet link
    // 2. Start WebTorrent download
    // 3. Track progress
    // 4. Serve files
});

🔧 Key Components Breakdown

1. Frontend Components

UI Elements (public/index.html)

  • Modern, responsive container layout
  • Dark/Light theme support
  • Progress tracking components
  • File list display
<!-- Example of our progress tracking -->
<div class="progress-bar">
    <div class="progress-fill" style="width: ${progress}%"></div>
</div>

JavaScript Logic (public/app.js)

  • Real-time status updates
  • Progress calculations
  • File management
  • Error handling
function checkStatus() {
    // Polls the API every second
    // Updates UI with download progress
    // Handles completion and errors
}

2. Backend Services

WebTorrent Client (api/index.js)

  • Torrent management
  • File handling
  • Progress tracking
const torrent = client.add(magnet, { 
    path: `/tmp/${downloadId}` // Temporary storage
});

torrent.on('done', () => {
    // Handle completion
});

API Endpoints

  • /api/download - Starts downloads
  • /api/status/:id - Tracks progress
  • /api/download/:id/:file - Serves files

🎨 UI/UX Features

Progress Tracking

// Real-time updates
{
    progress: (torrent.progress * 100).toFixed(2),
    downloadSpeed: (torrent.downloadSpeed / (1024 * 1024)).toFixed(2),
    timeRemaining: formatTime(torrent.timeRemaining)
}

Dark Mode Implementation

[data-theme="dark"] {
    --background-color: #1a1b1e;
    --text-primary: #ffffff;
    /* More dark theme variables */
}

Mobile Responsiveness

@media (max-width: 768px) {
    .container {
        padding: 1rem;
    }
    /* More mobile styles */
}

🔒 Security Considerations

Input Validation

if (!magnet.startsWith('magnet:?')) {
    return res.status(400).json({ error: 'Invalid magnet link' });
}

File Handling

// Secure file serving
res.setHeader('Content-Disposition', `attachment; filename="${encodeURIComponent(file.name)}"`);

🚀 Performance Features

Memory Management

// Automatic cleanup
torrent.on('done', () => {
    setTimeout(() => {
        torrent.destroy(); // Clean up after download
    }, CLEANUP_TIMEOUT);
});

Progress Tracking

// Efficient status updates
const files = torrent.files.map(file => ({
    name: file.name,
    progress: file.progress * 100,
    // More file info
}));

🐛 Known Limitations

Vercel Deployment

  • 10s timeout on serverless functions
  • Limited /tmp storage
  • No persistent connections

WebTorrent

  • Browser WebRTC limitations
  • Network dependency
  • Peer availability impact

💡 Developer Tips

Testing

# Test with small files first
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:...small_file...

# Monitor memory usage
htop  # or Activity Monitor

Error Handling

try {
    // Your code here
} catch (error) {
    console.error('Detailed error:', error);
    // User-friendly error message
}
