you get a fair connection because LW doesn't like firewalls, atleast your not disconnected like some other people on thse forums. and don't worry about if it's fair or lower, as long as you have dsl or higher, your good.
the file that you are downloading may be very popular, but many people might want it this is why I believe you get that awaiting sources.
keep trying and if the file isn't too big try it again maybe an error was created
People uploading like crazy for you is a good thing as LW likes people that are good to share, but if you'd like to lower some options go in tools, options, uploads, and in there there are two sub categories which let you chose things like which speed you'd like to dedicate to uploading and how many people can upload from you at the same time.
