I don't think that a reasonable, small queue is that bad. I guess it would
be nice to know that you're queued and you'll get something in a *near
future*. Once a queue slot is freed, it will be taken either by a newbie
or old user, who will wait *a little* until he actually downloads
something.

The problem comes with laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarge queues, where nobody past a
queue position (usually very low compared with the queue size) will ever
get anyhting (due to the client being shutdown, or its ip being
dinamically asigned).
