Comment 10 for bug 121836

that is not a very elegant fix, you end up losing the current status of your torrents that are being seeded. This is a major hassle to reconnect all of your torrents you had running in the client. Why does deluge crash, is it not possible to parse the old config files and extract only the info relevant to the new version? Would deluge not create a new config file when exiting the first time after an upgrade?

This is one of the most reported Deluge bugs according to launchpad, I ended up here because of this same bug. I think something needs to be done to resolve this issue, something different then rm -R ~/.config/deluge
