I really think this is mostly aimed at corporate customers where the management of the hundreds or thousands of office-worker machines is a big overhead. In those environments you generally won't (or at least shouldn't ;-) be uploading stuff.
For a home machine, or even the workplace machine of a highly technical user I don't really see it doing anything but annoying people - it doesn't help the user, just the machines around him. When those machines are under common management, this could be very helpful to that management even though that user loses his 'net connection.
