The torrent was ok since it imported manually.
Anyway, I tried the svn and that works like a dream. Detected the torrent immediately and no errors on import. Not trying to be fussy but it would be nice to specify a time delay in minutes but this is great as it is.
The only problem with the svn version is that it doesn't shut down tidily.
Deluge is shaping up to be my perfect torrent client though. Simple and feature full and not using buggy Java
