When mrtg runs on the 5 min intervals it grabs the untilization at that point
and plots in on the graph. Unless 301k was going at that exact moment when mrtg
was run, you are only going to see download traffic that takes longer than
5 minuets. If you want finer granularity, run it at more frequent intervals.
