Probably area dependent, I found out last week p2p isnt shaped here at peak which shocked me given the utilisation issues.
Whenever I have tested torrents on a windows machine on a DC line generally it has no issues getting sustained max speeds on 100mbit ports on well seeded torrents. Most torrents generally have high speed seeders anyway so can go faster than you realise.
I was tempted to test on some gigabit servers, but they all in use for important stuff so I couldnt.
