Annoying prob with file sharing

Has anyone has this prob with Shareaza? A lot of times when I'm downloading files of more that 1GB, the download will reach 80% and then stop - where it had roughly 100 sources before and happily downloading at 20KB/s, it now has only 0 sources :confused:

Is it possible that some of those 100+ sources only had 80% of the file and now I am one of the only user who has 80% of that file and uploading it to other users. In other words, there are tons of users with 60-80%% of the file and 0 users with the remainder 20% of the file?

So basically, it's a vicious circle of users downloading the same 80% segmants of the file - users who have the full file have logged off and will never return. That 80% of file will be exchanged on file sharing forever, nobody ever getting the full file... :confused:
