Default Interesting "Glitch" using Direct Connect

I have a Peer to Peer Ethernet network between my old XP and my new Vista.
I typically download onto one, then using Direct Connect put a copy on the other.
Typical speeds are maybe 750mb, so it takes 3 -4 seconds to copy the song.
Today on several songs, I got "Waiting on Busy Hosts" on several of the songs.
Both computers have "Turbo-Charged Connections" and no other uploads or
downloads going on. I copied maybe 25 songs, but 3 are "stalled".
Gosh folks, I don't know about other hosts, but mine wasn't busy.
While I had the "Waiting on Busy Hosts" message, I downloaded
several songs from the same host (my other computer).
I have noticed "a touch" of this before when I was direct connected
the speed would go way down if the transfer saw 2 sources.
Any Thoughts??
