Downloading 100KB a sec on your 56kb(max) line.

Nice, dont suppose you had already downloaded the file or something equally as stupid

Looks like the packets were traveling so fast your failed to capture them in your picture.

This happened to me before - I was on 56k at the time, and I went online to finish a 15 meg DL as I only had half of it.

I didnt notice at first, until I saw the dl progress bar flying along - I was connect at 512k or something ridiculous like that

I got disconnected 5 mins later though. but I got the file

There's some sort of caching going on.

Unless you're downloading a 20Meg Text file there's no way to physically push that much data down a phone line in the frequency range in which 56k operates.
