The proof is in the pudding -- if you find a batch of such files now and get a few and the rest end up awaiting sources, and you restart your client and it promptly downloads some of them (or does so shortly after you do another "find sources"), this is a sure sign that the host with those files never actually went offline, and the supposedly "awaiting sources" files were actually still available and should have shown "waiting for busy hosts".
We could not reproduce this behavior. Starting several downloads from the same host would result in the first three being started, and the rest would either become waiting for busy or need more sources depending on what the remote host replied (or failed to reply) in response.
