I have no idea what is happening but it's about 4:50am here in Thailand and suddenly my normal nightly download of TV series from European Giganews server, which normaly runs at about 1.8Mb (on my 2Mb connection) jumped to 9.5Mb !!!!!

Files just poured into the computer. It was like being back in the UK. I checked my router and it still reported a download setting of 2048 (2Mb)

Unfortunatly it's now 5am and the download speed has dropped to normal!

But it shows that it is possible!

So finally I know who gets the speed which I'm short of.

Maybe they installed some kind of cache?

Better turn your computer off, you're probably denying a whole province of connectivity!

So thats where my internet has been hiding the last two days.

You most likely found some other people (peers) in Thailand doing the same thing and you were peering with them - simply checkout your peers option next time and you will see this - like the example shows below. The increase in speed would be on the local loop in Thailand and to be expected.
