const data = await client.getAllData();
console.log(data.torrents);
Copy

Returns one torrent data from hash id

const data = await client.getTorrent('torrent-hash');
console.log(data);
Copy

const paused = await client.pauseTorrent('torrent-hash');
console.log(paused);
const resumed = await client.resumeTorrent('torrent-hash');
console.log(resumed);

// does not remove data on disk
const result = await client.removeTorrent('torrent_id', false);
