10 - Chunking and hashing (part 2).

Let's make our client more complete by making it download and verify all the chunks and saving them to disk.

Assignment

Server:

• Add the size of the file being shared to the handshake
• Add the chunk-size of the file being shared to the handshake

Client:

• Use the fs-chunk-store module that we introduced in exercise 8 to save each chunk received in the client into a file (tip: use the file-size expose in the handshake to initialize the chunk store)

Testing

1. Run a server that shares a file
2. Have your client connect to the server to download the file
3. Validate the downloaded file
