Status, waiting in line increases!
 

I'm kind of new to this system, but I've noticed in some of my download attempts, when the status is showing "Waiting in line, position xx" instead of xx decreasing it sometimes increases.

Today for instance in downloading Dragon Naturally Speaking the waiting cue for me increased from 1 to 18 over a period of 6 hours. it is currently at 17. How is this possible.... if this is peer to peer, are some people out there more peer than others?
