Unable to download Kali Linux via bitorrent

Hi

My torrent client, rtorrent, can't connect to the The Kali Linux tracker withe via dht, http or udp.

Here are screenshots of the client http showing the tracker isn't connecting and hasn't got any seeds.

I have used this client for downloading a large variety of Linux iso as bittorrents for the many years.
This is really unexpected.
is there something I am missing here?

Thanks in advance for help on this!
