This is more an FYI notice. I doubt there's much that can be done by Broonie.

Last few days I've been seeing 200+ ms lag times with the server. I'm in San Francisco, so while there's always a higher latency for me than others that are closer to the UK, its never this bad.

Traceroutes are showing at least one or two hops into the EU are responding with 100-200+ ms response times.

I'm going to leave a copy of the most current traceroute below for informational purposes. Again, I doubt there's much to be done but it might provide useful information for others.

I'll keep an eye on the backbone, but thanks for the heads up.
