Downloading... From myself??

I've been downloading a torrent and it's going a bit slow. So I check the 'peers' tab every so often, because staring at it will make it go faster. Anyway, a few minutes ago, a new peer appeared, and in the IP column it has writing '****-computer' (**** to keep anonymity). But the ****-computer is identical to the name of my computer. Am I downloading (and indeed uploading) the file from myself?

The percentage done on mine is less than the given percentage on the peer section which makes me think maybe it's just a coincidence. But why is it just writing and not an IP number in the 'IP' column.

Any explanation would be appreciate, cheers.
