Which results in clients reconnecting all the time as fast as possible
(without getting banned). If you connect less frequent your chance of
getting a slot is greatly reduced.

With common files you also have a lot of sources, say 1000
sources. And lets say you can reconnect every 10 minutes without
getting banned. So you can try 100 connects a minute for a file. Now
say you have a rare file with 10 sources resulting in 1 connect per
minute. Since getting a slot is pure probability you only get the
common files.

No queues is not the answere and queues isn't eigther.
