A configured Firewall can allow one to dld a file from a host that is not firewalled (low speeds can be witnessed though). On the other hand, if one has a firewall and tries to dld from someone with a firewall, then problems (such as "Need more Sources") may occur.
Do you get "Need more Sources" with many dlds? If not, then it can be explained simply by the fact that you never know when the host that you try to dld from may go offline. You might just be a bit unlucky and click that Download button right when the other party hoes offline.
