I'd guess its like every file sharing system(P2P)

You can't download any quicker than the connection speed where the file is located and as dial-up (56k 0r less) is still more prevalent than broadband thats the speed your most likely to be downloading at

Its only when a few broadband users download the same files that the speed will pick up

Plenty of files on kazaalite as small as 10mbs that can takes weeks to access due to them being on a dial-up system that seems to be turned off most of the time

cheers
