I was downloading something from sourceforge today (MySQL RPMS), and noticed that the download was going insanely fast. When I say insanely fast I mean like 1200KB/sec. That's like 9.6Mb/sec.
Apparently it's not just my imagination:
--- sourceforge.net ping statistics ---
19 packets transmitted, 19 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 3.4/4.0/5.6 ms
The crazy thing? It's still 7 hops.
