This has happened in the past as well. I don't remember what the solution was.
It was discussed on the Fedora lists. The discussions I remembered predated
F10. And I don't remember which release they were associated with.

When I saw it yesterday, while grabbing a copy of the games spin, I was seeing
transfer rates of between 2 and 10 KB/s with 2 or 3 peers. Then a second seeder
appeared out of the blue (myself and the peers were below 2%) and the transfer
rate went to between 1.5 MB/s and 2MB/s.
