Blue stars mean that the file is on a computer connected to your local network ie: your wifes computer. That's why they download faster. Sounds like maybe you have more files on your computer than your wife has on hers.

The blue stars mean the files are on your LAN (Local Area Network). Those files aren't being downloaded from the internet, they are on another computer that is connected to yours through a router(your wifes computer). Files with yellow stars are available over the internet(all the other computers out there running limewire).

See Sleepless's explaination in this thread: Blue Stars
