busboy receive uploaded files from FormData not working for me

Hi, someone please come and give me a hand. Big thanks ahead. Here is my server side code:

req.busboy.on('file', function(fieldname, file, filename, encoding, mimetype) {
            var name = Date.now()+filename;
            var dest = path.join(__dirname + "/../public/uploads/" + name);
            console.log(dest);
            var writer = fs.createWriteStream(dest);
            file.pipe(writer);
            req.filename = name;
});

it basically read file streams from request and then pipe to my upload folder with renamed filename.

Client code:

var formData = new FormData();
formData.append("file",$(filename)[0].files[i]);
$.ajax({
    url: posturl,  //server script to process data
    type: 'POST',
    data: formData,
    cache: false,
    contentType: false,
    processData: false,
    success: function(data){}
});

These codes are just like many a examples do, but files uploaded onto the server are not right for me. The size gets bigger and once I open the uploaded file, most of the images are just broken, with sometimes some images get partly correct like this:

Another problem is the size of one same pic would vary between different tries.

Hi buddy, I finally figured out what’s wrong with my code. I added req.setEncoding(‘utf-8’); to my req at I don’t know when and why.

After I commented out this line. Everything works as expected, both busboy and connect-busboy

I am terribly sorry for my bad.
