Well I've tried a proxy from all the midlandish places and its the same for all of them, it wouldn't make any sense not to so you must be looking at traces to the US Giganews servers not the Euro ones - the ones that if you try and connect to you get diverted to the Euro ones anyway.

As for the pings, latency is pretty much irrelevant as usenet goes, if the speeds get through, who gives a toss what the ICMP priority is.
