Your maths is okay but there's lots of wild assumptions. Is everyone on
asymmetric connections? Do all connections have the same capacity? Are the
peers all working flat out or just looking for the final bits of a file?
Is there no tcp traffic problems in any of the links? Etc. All these
questions can definitely be answered no so you need a model for the
network and seeders and peers.
