This is the reasoning behind ADSL: people read more than they write, because
many people can read the information one writes.
Of course, in a P2P environment this is not so drastic anymore because
many people can "write" the same thing.

Just more generally than usually. In the BBS era it was used the other way:
you couldn't download more than what you uploaded, times a certain factor.
