Hi,
I don't know much about traceroute and internet traffic.  My internet
connection was very slow yesterday.  I was downloading Breezy Badger.
Would someone explain why I received the following output from
traceroute.  Was this caused by downloading Ubuntu or a slow Verizon
line or Speakeasy connection?
