P2P and filesharing on a LAN can actually max out provided port bandwidth.
One of the LAN parties I went to actually provided gigabit ethernet to
a bunch of people (via yum cha switches) and they were all actually
pushing the gigabit ports quite hard (fast PCs, multiple striped SATA
disks, pushed about 800mbit/sec each port.)
