Nice catch! That one is from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictionary_of_chemical_formulas

I've updated the offending page.

Tell me about it. I've been having an exciting morning...

Update: I've downloaded the GeoLite data from April 2015, replacing the old March 2014 data! You should now be seeing more accurate results. :)
Re:Traceroute on Tuesday August 25, 2015 @03:03PM (#10118777)
This should be fixed now -- thanks!
Re:Traceroute on Tuesday August 25, 2015 @03:03PM (#10118774)
The data is as of March 2014, and therefore out of date -- I'm working on updating it right now. :)

As I remember from when the data was fresh, sometimes you do get crazy hops across the Atlantic like that, though.

Sweet, I'd be interested! Ping me with your contact information, and I can let you know once I've wired it up to use that.

Fixed DEBUG to be False now -- thanks! I'll see if I can fix this 500, too. :)

Yeah, the MaxMind data is as of March 2014 -- out of date. Sorry about that!

Oh, you're right, I'm using "space" incorrectly. Fixed :)
