Are you positively, or negatively, surprised? :-P

The number seems pretty typical to me. Remember that a) most of the 
people here are not on "commercial" broadband lines, but have typical 
"residential" connections, and b) you are uploading multiples of the 
actual data volume because of redundancy.

What might be even more surprising if you're on a broadband connection 
is that downloads tend to be slower than uploads -- simply because your 
download uses other nodes' upstream bandwidth (which, for residential 
connections, is typically only a fraction of their downstream bandwidth).
