Deluge Forum

Hello everyone,
I've been using Deluge for months now. I've recently upgraded to Kubuntu 7.10, installed the new version of Deluge and everything went fine for a few days.
Today, suddenly, Deluge stopped opening torrent files.
If I double click on a .torrent file, nothing happens (I've configured Deluge as the default app for torrents). The same happens if I click the "+" button on the toolbar and load a .torrent, or if I select "Add Torrent" from the File menu.

I've already tried reinstalling, and also tried running "rm ~/.config/deluge/persistent.state" but with no success.

This is what the terminal says when I try to open a torrent:
Any suggestions? Thanks

Any suggestions? Thanks

this is a preference problem, not a persistent.state problem. rm ~/.config/deluge/prefs.state should allow you to bring deluge back up and reconfigure it

Thanks. It worked.

Wait a sec... it only worked temporarily.
Now if I launch deluge I obtain this error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'libtorrent::invalid_handle'
what(): invalid torrent handle used
Aborted (core dumped)

I removed the complete ~/.config/deluge and now it works again but what's happening to my Deluge??

Are you using 0.5.6.96? If not, upgrade. See http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=774

Didn't notice a new version was out.
I'm gonna upgrade right now. Thanks for pointing this out.
