'TypeError: Buffer.alloc is not a function' error on nodejs <5.10.0

[yrjyrj123]

I try to run this module, but see the error message like this:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/parse-torrent/index.js:110
;(function () { Buffer.alloc(0) })()
                       ^

I have found reason, because of I am using nodejs<5.10.0 .

Maybe you can specify the version of node that your stuff works on in package.json to avoid this.

{ "engines" : { "node" : ">=5.10.0" } }

Thx.

Glad you got it figured out. The problem is that Buffer.alloc exists in 4.x too. I'd rather not add anything to package.json. Thanks.
