This happans to me when restarting to download a file. Not sure about that, but i think it simulates dnlding of the dnlded part(dont blame me, im no eXpert!) Thouse little speed \"lags\" ar noraml, ISP problems. I have a 256kb/s connection, but in the local network(gah, dont know how to say that in english) of my ISP can get super-speed. Once i got 2mbit/s (60kbyte/s from one user) in Direct Connect ++. That depends on your ISP.
