Why does deluge need two copies of each torrent?

[eepman]

As of right now deluge makes a copy of every torrent in the state folder under AppData.
I don't believe this is efficient when the option to store torrents in a separate directory is turned on.

Another issue I have noticed is that if you are loading a torrent from the same directory as the directory set to copy your .torrent files to it will replace the existing file instead of realizing that the file is already in the right place.

Running deluge version 1.3.5 with libtorrent 0.16.1

I cannot remember if there is a reason for it.

Raise a ticket and it can be looked into, mark for 1.3.6 milestone.

The copy of the torrent in the state folder gets removed when you remove the torrent while the copy in the specified torrent folder doesn't.
