I tried your suggestions but still the same problems. After disabling classic mode and starting the daemon manually it worked once. After I restarted it still the same (no incomming conections. I noticed two instances of python.exe remains in memory periodically too. I have to manually terminate them.
Still the torrents don't load.
I don't have a router, just a cable modem so I disabled UPNP port mapping and NAT-PMP.
Here is my deluged.log, mysteriously it turned up:
