I'm having a similar issue with every torrent client I've tried (Deluge, Transmission, and Azureus). I think I've found a workaround though. Apparently having an encrypted home directory is interfering with torrent downloads somehow. When I moved the download folder to an unencrypted partition it works perfectly. It could be a red herring, but I can consistently reproduce it and all of my torrent clients function flawlessly now. Let me know if I can be of assistance in any way (contributing logs, running tests etc).
