Description Storm Engineer 2016-04-25 04:28:41 UTC 
So recently I did a sysupgrade, after which Ktorrent lost all my settings. I figured it is because Ktorrent changed from using .local/share/... to .config. I found the new ktorentrc, and overwritten it with my old. However, every time I start Ktorrent it will overwrite all my settings with broken defaults.

I tried making ktorrentrc immutable, in which case Ktorrent will whine about it not being writable when it tries to overwrite it at start, and then loads with the broken default settings regardless.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to chance .config/ktorrentrc
2. Start Ktorrent

Actual Results:  
.config/ktorrentrc will be replaced with default settings upon start

Expected Results:  
Ktorrent should load custom settings instead of destroying them.

Alright so after much fiddling it seems the issue was caused by a format error in the old ktorrentrc, where some paths had "file:///" added to the for unknown reason. Removing those seem to have fixed the issues.
