Getting an error like:
Error starting torrent: Cannot create file ~/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor1/dnd/file0.dnd: No such file or directory

Seems that dnd directories are either deleted or do not get created automatically properly when starting a torrent.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start an existing torrent
2. Popup appears

Actual Results:  
Error message

Expected Results:  
For the torrent to start

Ubuntu 16.04

This could have been .kde/share/apps/ktorrent not having been mounted yet (I use NixOS and use this a bind mount point). Perhaps if ktorrent was expecting it to be there one minute and it not being there the next, this could reproduce the issue. Deleting the directory at the time might help replicate the issue. I'll check.

Wait a minute, this was 2016 before I used NixOS. I wasn't expecting it to be this far back. I think I'll close it as I don't normally experience this behaviour on modern versions and I'll open something else if newer versions are still problematic and it's reproducible.
