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

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

console.log(paused);
const resumed = await client.resumeTorrent();
console.log(resumed);

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

// remove data on disk
const res = await client.removeTorrent('torrent_id', true);
console.log(res);
