you should remove the .torrent from torrents/seeded and then issue the command reshare_torrents (the core will print "BT-Tracker return: stopped NAME" in the log) and then you can remove the file.

I'm not sure if the empty files still can occur for other networks such as edonkey, but i think they don't (just issue reshare after removing the file).

However it would be nice if the core could be notified by file-changes and do this automatically... (opening a new wishlist-bug for that)

Although it has some other bugs I think this bug is solved in
2.5.30.14, please try it. I never experienced this bug with that
version.

After files are removed from the incoming directory mldonkey-server
creates empty versions of them in the incoming directory. These file
creations happen every few minutes. This behaviour happens across
server invocations. I primarily use the bittorrent protocol with
mldonkey and have not verified that this behaviour happens with other
protocols.

I suspect this is related to mldonkey-server trying share chunks of
completed files and not checking to see if the file still exists.
Some sort of 'touch' occurs and a ghost file is created.

This is annoying because the incoming directory is constantly populated
with the ghosts of files from ages past.

This bugs remind me the bug #1459.

This bug comes from the Debian BTS : http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=301093
