Strange connections that download about 100x the file size

In the last couple of weeks I've seen two very strange connections from China. I just happened to see them connected and downloading. The file sizes are about 1 and 12GB. The strange thing about the connections is that one had downloaded about 80x the file size, and the other about 200x, and they were still connected, downloading more. I blocked the first IP last week, and today found the second one connected (and I blocked it). The two different IP addresses only differed in the last 3 digits.
This seems fishy to me because 1) how do they download much more than the file size in one connection? and 2) these aren't even popular files. Am I being hijacked somehow?
