Node.js Script doesn't exit - node.js

Question

I am noob at Js but trying to make life easier by writing api to transfer files from irc to my server
After some digging I got a module that downloads file (code below based on npm xdcc) but when I run the module it doesn't exit after completing commands
Eg. After spitting out 'Download Complete' I have to press Ctrl+C to exit
var irc = require('xdcc').irc;
var ProgressBar = require('progress');
var progress;
var connectIRC = function (bot, pack) {
var user = 'desu' + Math.random().toString(36).substr(7, 3);
var start = 0;
console.log('Connecting...');
var client = new irc.Client('irc.rizon.net', user, {
channels: ['#nibl'],
userName: user,
realName: user
});
client.on('join', function(channel, nick, message) {
if (nick !== user) return;
console.log('Joined', channel);
client.getXdcc(bot, 'xdcc send #' + pack, '.');
});
client.on('xdcc-connect', function(meta) {
console.log('Connected: ' + meta.ip + ':' + meta.port);
progress = new ProgressBar('Downloading... [:bar] :percent, :etas remaining', {
incomplete: ' ',
total: meta.length,
width: 20
});
});
var last = 0;
client.on('xdcc-data', function(received) {
progress.tick(received - last);
last = received;
});
client.on('xdcc-end', function(received) {
console.log('Download completed');
});
client.on('notice', function(from, to, message) {
if (to == user && from == bot) {
console.log("[notice]", message);
}
});
client.on('error', function(message) {
console.error(message);
});
};
module.exports.connectIRC = connectIRC;
Also when the irc bot doesn't send any notice , the filename is wrapped in double quotes
Eg.
Packet name = Node.mkv
If bot sends a notice then name of file download = Node.mkv
If bot doesn't send any notice then name = "Node.mkv" (including double quotes)
Any help would be appreciated

If you want auto close your Node JS app you have to call the global process object's exit method so :
client.on('xdcc-end', function(received) {
console.log('Download completed');
process.exit()
});
