var fs = require('fs');

fs.readFile('./5477B6CD394A690C45FBC8E8939757A958D70245.torrent', function(err, data) {
TorrentRead(data);
});
`

` js
//read from web
var TorrentRead = require('torrent-read'),
http = require('http'),
zlib = require('zlib');

function loadTorrent(url, callback) {
http.get(url, function(res) {
var chunks = [];
res.on('data', function(chunk) {
chunks.push(chunk);
});
res.on('end', function() {
var buffer = Buffer.concat(chunks);
var encoding = res.headers['content-encoding'];
if (encoding == 'gzip') {
zlib.gunzip(buffer, function(err, decoded) {
callback(err, decoded);
});
} else if (encoding == 'deflate') {
zlib.inflate(buffer, function(err, decoded) {
callback(err, decoded);
})
} else {
callback(null, buffer);
}
});
}).on('error', callback);
}

loadTorrent('http://torcache.net/torrent/5477B6CD394A690C45FBC8E8939757A958D70245.torrent', function(e, data){
TorrentRead(data);
});
