Then "killall deluged" should result in a clean shutdown. If you still see issues, you might want to try disabling "classic mode" in preferences | interface | classic mode. Another alternative if the server is not being shutdown or rebooted, would be to pause all (torrents), rather than stop /shutdown deluge.
