Default Could someone please explain this to me

Why there is such a wide swing in the speed of downloads as well as the number of hosts that it downloads from? I have been using Limewire for quite some time now and thought for awhile it was getting better, but am not so sure of that at the present time. Right now I have almost 9 hours into downloading one, just one file of a little over 600 Meg, and I figure at this rate it will be done by midnight, and then by that time I will be too tired to preview it.
So far I have seen the range on this one swing from 50+ to 0 and then even when I had it at 87% done, it decides to tell me that it put me at "waiting in line, position 1", which I can't understand the reasoning for its doing so.
Now if someone out there can explain all this to me and the reasoning for its doing this, I might not be so frustrated with the whole thing. Thanks for any info and help on this one!
