Why does this sometimes happen? I sent 17 BTC, and 10+ blocks have passed and it has not been confirmed.

https://blockchain.info/tx-index/9649065/f5fd525770f155ccb8e78d925c408ffa2de35522ffe33fd197c574801be86bba

Thanks!

No fee.  Blocks have lots of tx.  Your free tx is seen as garbage to process when they get around to it by miners. 
It could be 5 to 20 hours before your tx is confirmed.  I would recommend setting tx fee > 0 in your client.

Hi TangibleCryptography,
 Thank you for the response. You thoroughly answered my question. I take my hat off to you.
