Consider yourself lucky. Also don't advertise it to anyone. Its probably a fault with the ISP and they would certainly throttle it back if they were aware of it.
And yes its possible with some small downloads once in a while and if it happens to be a relatively quiet day on your ISP's servers.
I certainly wouldn't mention it to your ISP. And NO its not possible to do it consistently. Its just one of those things that happens sometimes.
Your ISP may also still be in the process of fine tuning everything so your lightning downloads may or may not continue for much longer but on the net you never know...........Enjoy it while it lasts.
I use a free dial-up service, and I usually get download speeds of 3-5 kb/s when getting anything off the web. However, every once in a while, usually with small files - I get outrageous speeds. For example, today, I was downloading a Mathematica notebook from MathWorld (about 500 kb), and I was getting speeds of 15-25 kb/s. (Thats kiloBYTES, not kiloBITS.) I checked the Win XP dial-up connection status, and it was true - there was a jump that big in the number of thousands of bytes received - every second.
This has happened on several occasions, but only from some servers (Yahoo email sometimes does this), and always when I was using Firefox for the download.
Is this even *physically* possible on a dial-up connection? Is there any way to make this happen more consistently?
