To store our pieces of data, we can push them into a simple array data structure in the client. We will do this directly when the data channel reports that a message has been received. We will also use the opposite decoding function that we covered in the Making chunks readable subsection under the Breaking down a file into chunks section in this chapter, to put our chunks into the right format:

// Add some new global variables
var currentFile = [],
    currentFileMeta;

// Add this to the openDataChannel function
dataChannel.onmessage = function (event) {
    try {
      var message = JSON.parse(event.data);
