Qzone, the number in the # column doesn't show how many people are downloading that file - it shows how many identical versions of that file are being shared...how many sources there are for that file.
So if you see a file with no number in that # column, means that there's only 1 host with that particular file. It's better to download from multiple hosts if you can, you'll usually see a faster download. But stay away from those files that have heaps of sources - they're sometimes fakes (that's what Hobo was talking about).

You might want to read the LW user guide too, it'll explain a bit more about what the columns mean & lots of other stuff
