I repeated your actions (learned something in the process - thanks) and confirm
the file is recovered.

At this point, I'm conflicted.  On the one hand, the behavior exhibited by Calc
when attempting to open this file is very unfriendly.  It not only gave no clue
as to the problem, but left no avenue to repair it.

On the other hand, perfect defense is impossible and this would seem to be an
odd case (I'm not really sold on this argument).  Excel 2007 opened it, and
without that avenue (or your manual edits) I'd have been out of luck.

I also opened that URL (they are all the same) to confirm its validity and am
still unable to load my original spreadsheet.  It would seem that whatever
failure has been triggered ought to be addressed.  Even if the URL was
inaccessible, a 5 minute timeout should have fired an exception.  Instead I say
continuous network activity.  It seems that something is mishandling that URL.
