That's the way torrent downloads work. During a torrent download, you
will usually see connections to some 20 or 30 or more different servers
in almost as many different countries.

You will even find that you are re-uploading some files or parts of
files to others around the world.

With the right torrent software client, you will get a very nice image
of the world and a great picture of international cooperation.
