I got that effect too. What i did was the following:
* started to download file X
* got a lot of mbs for this file downloaded....
* upgraded mldonkey and deleted files.ini
* did recover_temp and mldonkey searched for the hashes and hashed the file
* mldonkey found out that i already had downloaded the first chunk - and that
just after hashing for a few seconds (== big downloadrate)
* mldonkey continued hashing, found more and more present chunks
without even downloading (you said your dl was paused).
Just by hashing the file got more and
more completed. Thats the only way mldonkey can show such amazing
download rates (except if you got such a line....)

Maybe something like this happend to you too. If you recovered an
partial downloaded file, mldonkey found out there are already present
parts and counted them as downloaded.
