Hi guys,

Was on my usenet software downloading a couple of bits and was on the chat rooms talking to some guys. We were talking about ISP's, download speeds stuff like that. One guy said he was with virgin (just like me) on their 20 mb tariff (just like me) and managed to get 50 mbps. I asked him to send me a screenshot of his software which he did, and I said straight away as it was only the start of the download it could be just one cached onto his PC.

I showed him the way to gamefiles.virginmedia.com and asked him to send me one there. The one he sent me is 15% the way through so, as far as I am aware, can not be cached?

How can this be possible, he has DOCSIS 2, and Ambit 256 modem. I thought maybe the picture had been edited but can't see any signs of it?
