No idea what the figure is. But any congestion during traffic management hours is more likely due to over selling rather than p2p/nntp considering they are throttled during those hours.
the last 2 nights in a row my utilisation (tbb latency graph) has peaked at midnight which suggests significant p2p/nntp activity on my port however prior to these last 2 nights I hadnt noticed a jump.

Can see there how late at night my peak is, and that my port appears to be congested for almost the entire day. Congestion at dusk suggests background downloading/uploading activity aka p2p/nntp as the amount of people online then should be minimal.
Sandvine who manage traffic for comcast I believe said now days the % of download activity that is torrents is barely a 1/5 but its a significant amount of upload traffic.
