Its been asked several times by new users and i just spotted the calculation on a site so here it is:
Quote:
Your Queue Rank is determined by the following:

QR = WT X F
F = 2 X Up you ever made to that source / Down ever made from that source

WT = waiting time
F = factor [1-10]


So two things benefit the speed and number of downloads:
1. The time your connected, the longer your client is on the network and requesting a file, the higher in the queue you'll climb
2. The amount of data you've given out to that particular client

The system benefits you uploading the same file your downloading, since you will have a good ratio with other peers downloading, and also means that being connected for a long time with a lot of files shared means you'll climb up queues faster.

Once your on the network for a long time, your F factor is high and you jump into queues a lot faster when you restart the client.
