I have the same issue - I am in the US and have a 200mb line, yet most pkg downloads are in the 200-500kb range. Supposedly the pkgs are downloaded based on geoip - I have no insight into where mine are coming from though.
Look at the webpage on http://pkg.freebsd.org/. Viewing that page will also get redirected to a GeoIP based mirror. From the Netherlands, I typically end up on the New York server.
