At around 9:45 if a file is downloading it will stop for about 8 - 10 seconds THEN the download speed jumps from what it was when it stopped around 800k to over 7mb/s and then it will settle at the full 2.2mb/s i should be getting and its done this for a few days in a row and the downloads im downloading are from different websites.
What are you using to do the downloading (which browser or downloader program)?

It could just be the speed indicator being a little inaccurate (as it can be on Internet Explorer for instance).
