Not all .torrent files present in \deluge\state folder?

I understand that for Windows, Deluge stores information for current torrents in the folder %appdata%\deluge\state

I have 1282 .torrent files in this folder, but in fact have 4968 torrents listed in Deluge.

What is the reason for the (3686 file) discrepancy between .torrent files and the actual amount of torrents in the queue?

And where does Deluge store information for the torrents for which no .torrent file yet exists?

I'm sure there's a simple explanation. My thought was perhaps that .torrent files are only created when the file names, sizes etc are loaded, and that one of the .state or .fastresume files contains the info for the rest, but that's just a guess.

Any help much appreciated.

Just guessing, but did you download a lot of files through magnet links?

You're right, I did - a majority would have been loaded via magnet links.
