Shhhhhhhhhh.... Shouldn't you be happy???
I wouldn't advertise the fact that you're downloading movies over the torrent network......
But yes, some times when a lot of seeds and peers are available on your local or neighborhood network, and, you manage to connect to them, the speed is going to increase drastically, it also shows your ISP is not being able to manage the allocated speeds properly, or then you're getting more than what you paid for....

And closed. Don't talk about torrenting again unless you want a ban.
