Yep . That is trully global. You should use a client like azureus , with 
the plugin to show the country codes/flags.. You'll see some flags 
you've probably never seen :P

As for the bandwith waste , it's really an issue.. One of my friends 
just measured it and on a 50KB/s transfer (I dont recall if it was 
download or upload) , he had an extra 30KB/s of message exchange made by 
the protocol...
