You know this bug seems to get worse over time
Nowadays I almost cannot start any torrent over 300MB without ftd crashing. Even really legal ones like Fedora-8. Sorry for this useless rant but it's really getting annoying. As Hammer mentions, restarting daemons or even rebooting helps nothing.
Would it help to downgrade to a previous version of ftd?

Hi Ubi and hammer,
You seem to be very struck by our bug in the ftd. I can only apologize and ask you to be patient, we are working on it.
But ftd should really not crash on empty load. It should do absolutely nothing then.
To get ftd to an clean start make sure that it is not running. Remove everything in all torrent dirs. Make really sure that all hidden, the ones named .ftdxxxxxxx, torrents are deleted as well. Remove all files from all download directories. Restart apache. And start ftd again.
To minimize the risk of ftd to crash. Keep the concurrent downloads to a minimum.

Funny thing: I just re-upped the same torrents that gave me trouble and it all worked fine...

YEAH!!!!
I found an offending .ftd* file in another user's torrent dir, and removing that and restarting all worked!
Now it is useable again.

NAYYYYYYYYYY!!!
I retract my previous statement. Removing the file as I wrote made ftd show up. But when I added one torrent the whole thing crashed again, and now nothing helps.
Everything restarted and /torrents is empty....
Getting rather annoying.
