This here is called P2P not downloading from fast servers. You are downloding from people like you and me. The people who offer the files have limited resources as you have.
A lesson in math. An average DSL user have a download speed of 96KB and a upload speed of 16KB. These users are sharing the most. Everybody wants to download with his max speed, some are able to download very fast now we count , if one user would be able to download with max speed this means that 5 others get nothing. You should also realize that not everybody is sharing. These are the reasons why you are waiting for a download slot not because you have technical problems.
To make it short you can have the best computer, the fastest line, the best software, you can defrag it every day but this will not help you. P2P is not so easy...
