This well-known torrent:

http://wlstorage.net/torrent/wikileaks-insurance-20120222.tar.bz2.aes.torrent

represents an over 65 GB large file.

When loaded into rtorrent, it does not start downloading. rtorrent says:

* [CLOSED] 0.0 / 65862.4 MB Rate: 0.0 / 0.0 KB Uploaded: 0.0 MB [ I R: 0.00]
* Hashing:

(yes, there's nothing after the Hashing:). The status does not ever seem to change. No temporary file is created in the incomplete/ folder either.

What could this be?
