Zip import fails with: throw new Error('"toString()" failed')

Thanks for that suggestion.

I made an update to the mongo connection timeout on import and it was able to handle importing the GTFS file you linked: https://github.com/BlinkTagInc/node-gtfs/releases/tag/0.9.10

You are right that it was in the removing of old data that it was timing out - perhaps I'll come up with a better way of doing this.

Thanks for the report. I tried the config file and it worked with the latest version of node-gtfs 0.9.9

Try updating your global node-gtfs installation to the latest version:

npm update gtfs -g 

Otherwise, it is a large GTFS file so perhaps the download is failing silently?

Might be a large file issue indeed.
Also had some weird connection timeout issues with very large files in the import.js removeDatabase method.
Mongod CPU usage also stayed up to 300% after throwing the error.
Setting: { connectTimeoutMS: 0, socketTimeoutMS: 0 } in MongoClient.connect fixed it.
Better to just have a longer timeout probably instead of infinite.
But in the large file case, the default 30 seconds timeout MongoClient sets was not enough for some operations to complete.

I got also this issue, tried several node.js versions. Also when using the path option in config.json I got the same error.
