Just to add a bit to what GDJ said, based on my band's experience....
The tracks from your (and the other participants') computers take quite a long time to upload to the central server and then download to each participant's machine. We generally practice in the evening and leave JK running all night. Even then, some tracks may not yet have been successfully shared. They sometimes need multiple upload attempts before they succeed.
Eventually, you should get a copy of every track from every participant and these seem to arrive as ogg vorbis files (.ogg extension). In the same folder you may find some other files with .wav extensions. These are recordings of the live streams from individual participants, and are saved as soon as the session ends. They may be useful but, for example, I regularly play with a band where one member sings and plays an accordion which is fitted with internal mics and its bass is equipped with midi, from which he drives a synth bass. So the stream file (the wav) contains a mix of accordion, synth bass and his vocals. This is not ideal for use in a DAW. On the other hand, the ogg files of individual tracks (when they finally arrive) include individual files for voice, accordion and bass.
