Even at half the speed up to 10hrs.
There is plenty of people who act like a seedbox and download everything, because they sell the stuff to their mates etc, so all the movies, albums and games are constantly grabbed and seeded because most are on tough torrent sites where a good sharing ratio is needed to stay there.

You're sort of contradicting yourself here. If someone is downloading at 17MB/s all day every day but is concerned with their share ratio, then they have a very serious problem - their upload speed is, at best, about 1.5MB/s and that will get traffic managed quite harshly through the day.
Also anyone
that serious about downloading wouldn't be torrenting the stuff. In any case, only a handful of people are going to be that bad.
I consider myself a fairly heavy downloader and according to Virgin, I only downloaded ~850GB between August and December.
