It's a Chinese download manager that has a cache of a large percentage of all bittorrent content available on the net.
It works kind of like a communal seedbox, whenever a person opens a torrent using Thunder, it gets sent to the server which also downloads the same files, unless the server already has it (which it usually does). You'll then be downloading from the normal P2P network in addition to downloading from Thunder's servers. It always manages to max out my bandwidth (2 megabytes/s) so I'm not sure what the max speed you can get is. This also works for old torrents with no seeds and no peers, as long as someone once used Thunder to download the torrent, you can grab it from their servers.
The service costs ¥150 per year ($24.5, €18.56), which seems incredibly cheap for all the storage and bandwidth costs they'd incur
They also allow you to stream the content on their servers instead of downloading to your local disk. You can then use torrents as a kind of 'bookmark' and use Thunder as a practically unlimited cloud storage + video streaming service. They also transcode all HD content to 'fast', 'HD', and 'ultra HD' versions for you to choose between when streaming.
It's really incredible the things you can do in a country unencumbered by copyright restrictions
Plus you need to increase your costs to cover backup, geographical redundancy etc.
