Are you putting the image at a URL your browser has recently requested
- i.e. the most likely explanation is that the server is making the
file available immediately, but your browser has a file in its cache
with caching instructions.

Try iehttpheaders for MSIE or TamperData for Firefox to find out if
that's really what's going on.

Of course your ISP could be running some non-realtime filesystem
clustering solution (like a crontab'ed rsync) but you pay them money
for support.
