deluge

To use deluge I use a socks proxy server. Everything was working perfectly till now. I use the following code to create the socks server:

ssh -D 1080 user@remote-server

In the proxy settings of Deluge I put the host as 127.0.0.1 and port as 1080 and use socks v4 (for some reason it didn't work with socks v5). This setup was working perfectly till now. Now suddenly I cannot download any torrents. The error I get is connection timed out. I checked the remote server and it seems it is not even being used. What can the error be ?
