I have had cases where my bandwidth upon starting a torrent has spiked to 1.5mb/s (my line is cable of 0.6 tops) and then settled down after about 30 seconds. Physics decided to give a nice big fuck-you to the sync speed
I have Shaw eXtreme-I internet, and they give you an automatic speed boost in the first few seconds of a download. But I usually get 1.5mbs-2 on good servers anyways.
It happens from time to time. My usual download speed is around 335kb/s but it sometimes spurts to 1 m/s.

it's fun
I've had this before. A long time ago, I was downloading halo custom edition maps. I downloaded one called worm, and it finished literally the instant I hit save. I checked the file, surely enough it was 16 megabytes. I play it on halo, and it works perfectly. I hadn't left the save/open window open for a while, I had 180 kilobytes/second average back then.
Think of your bandwidth kind of like a hose. You kink it for a while, some water leaks out but most of it is clogged/whatever. Eventually, the pressure builds and out comes all the water and you download super fast for an instant. Then the kink comes right back, unfortunately enough.
Realize I don't mean this literally, it's just a metaphor (albeit a bad one)
