Transaction not making it into blockchain

[Nefario]

I've sent a little under 200btc to 17rcBUcTqJUVo3THh7fNFSW3SEnsVDvPcC, transaction id 3b6b64ebad254691c8a5e8ad112119d4b220fb8ae696fd1d713741254b554ab2

client version 324
I've got the full blockchain and 33 connections. I made this transaction over 2 hours ago and it's not getting processed.

I've also got the txfee set to 0

Are we really at the stage where transactions wont get processed without a fee?

Nefario.

I sent 2 recent BTC without fee 2 hours ago
Do you see your transaction here? http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/

It looks like it's not even being relayed.

Start your client with the -debug switch and double-click the transaction. Let's see what's up...

[MagicalTux]

It usually takes more than 24 hours for such transactions to be relayed and taken by someone who accept those, on condition your client is constantly connected and not behind a firewall.

OK so I've tried again, I've also added a tx fee ( the fee charged was 0.02btc) and here is the info on the transaction.
Still getting the feeling this isn't going to go through, any ideas why? Magicaltux, why would this "type" of transaction take 24hours?

It's broadcasted so it should take too long now

You will need to remove that transaction before you can send this one. If you have an even older backup of your wallet, that might work. Otherwise, you will have to use this:

Used pywallet to remove the offending transaction, my transaction has  now gone through...much obliged.

It usually takes more than 24 hours for such transactions to be relayed and taken by someone who accept those, on condition your client is constantly connected and not behind a firewall.

Where to start if one wanted to learn more about how long transactions will take on average before they make it into the blockchain?

I've also had issues with one of my clients not being able to send (broadcast) transactions - and iirc I never solved it. What should I be looking for? Just unconfirmed?
