It appears your transfer file is corrupt (usually located at ~/.nicotine/config.transfers.pickle)

If you rename/remove it N+ should start again but your transfer list will be cleared. If you feel like playing around you can open it with an editor and see if you can rescue any details

This worked! Thanks a bunch!

Great. I've fixed the code with r1422, in case of a corrupt pickle file it now loads up and shows a warning about it.
