Ubuntu 7.10 Deluge 0.5.8.1

As I'm adding torrents the Deluge User interface stops updating but stays responsive. It seems like things are still running in the background, and I can open preferences etc. So I quit and start it again. Deluge never shows up. I start Deluge again and it shows up and begins the long process of re-checking my torrents. While it is checking the UI locks again. Quit, restart. Doesn't show up. Restart and it begins checking the torrents. UI freezes...And this goes on and on. It never gets through checking all the torrents before it locks.

When I start from terminal sometimes I get a string of these errors while it is checking torrents:
Fast resume saving failed
Fast resume saving failed
Fast resume saving failed
Fast resume saving failed
Fast resume saving failed
Fast resume saving failed
Fast resume saving failed
Fast resume saving failed
Fast resume saving failed

But those don't cause a crash.

When it crashes it spits out this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/deluge/interface.py", line 1105, in update
self.manager.handle_events()
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/deluge/core.py", line 734, in handle_events
_("times in a row"), event["times_in_row"])
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 28-30: invalid data

But never on the same torrent, so I'm pretty sure I don't have a corrupted .torrent or something.

Any ideas?

P.S. After I quit Deluge does not return me to a prompt. It halts after 'core shut down'.

the first one is ok. it cant save fastresume on checking torrents. it's nothing to be alarmed about.
the second one means that your tracker is sending us messages not in utf8...probably latin1. french tracker? anyway, there's a fix for this in svn, if you wanna try that. or wait a couple of days for our next fix release

Thanks for the quick reply. Glad to know a fix is already in.

I'll wait for the next release.

2 English trackers, 2 Swedish.

When the update comes out will it be necessary to uninstall the old .deb before installing the new one? Or will it just upgrade like I would expect it to?

Thanks.

Thanks.

just upgrading is fine

Unlike rpm, dpkg simply replaces an existing version with the one you ask it to install, even in cases of downgrading.
With rpm, you'd have to use enforcing options.

I have same problem: http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop ... f=7&t=1108

Unfortunately, compiling and installing from SVN, give no result =(

Ubuntu 7.10
Deluge (from SVN, Revision: 2660)

Update: Oh, sorry... Problem is not same.
