Geographically close is NOT the same as topologically close. While it is generally true that domestic sites are "closer" than international sites, I have traceroutes to a site just a few city blocks away. Network traffic from here to there is not too bad. However, the packets manage to visit both the east coast and California before returning to Texas :-( You should also recognize that, although cvsup.FreeBSD.ORG might be only a few miles away from those in the Bay Area, they might still get better service from Atlanta because of server loads.
