Can't create new project from existing in PHPStorm

I just installed PHPStorm 6.0.3 on my mac (Lion 10.7.5). I successfully added one project via New Project From Existing (SFTP), but when I try to add a second New Project From Existing (also SFTP), it looks like it starts the download process and then stops without any warning. Any clues?

TIA!

UPDATE

I noticed that PHPStorm kept closing the download when it came to a particular directory. By setting the directory to be excluded from download, the project was successfully downloaded.

SECOND UPDATE

Upon further inspection of the 'bad' directory, I noticed that someone had added circular links to it. It could be that PHPStorm caught an error and failed silently when it came across those bad links.

The solution was to fix (remove circular links) or exclude the directory from which the download was failing.

In my case I was trying to create a project from existing files, but the directory was already a project.

So the error is a not well expressed.

If this happens to you open the project instead of creating a new one
