Hi there,
I'd not worry about usenet as the ammount is so minimal, we suspect this may be just background traffic on the ports that are utilised for that, another thing it could be is a banner-ad for usenet that might have popped up whilst you were browsing, those ads are hosted on the same servers as the usenet service which could account for that.
As for the VOIP traffic that category also includes other forms of online chat such as Xbox Live chat or Skype.
