i mean, those speeds are more than double than whats even suppose to be capable with 3g

Yes I am just using Wifi Router. I installed a program called DU meter midway through the download just to see if the download could actually be as fast as it seemed.

I would agree that it seems strange because this is faster than EVDO rev. a should be capable of. When I did a speed test on the phone itself earlier I was getting around 1.5mbps and when I tried a speed test using broadband reports prior to downloading Open Office it showed a test speed of 1.8mbps. I do not know if there is some kind of compression algorithim used in downloading files or not though.
