With only moderately-popular torrents (think fan movies like fanimatrix or starship exeter, a week or so after the slashdot effect has died down) such a client can easily seed at 10-20Mbit/s.Yes yes, it's of course technically possible. It's no problem to saturate a 100M either if you have a decent computer.
My point was not just that it was technically possible, but rather that with active filesharing clients running it's something that a naive user can easily do, today -- no future killer apps required.
