Obviously not dismissing your experience, just adding my own : I tried it recently on a big game that was installed on my SO desktop, and it worked great. Just had to activate the feature on both Steam instances, restart Steam, and then I enjoyed a superfast "download" speed, that was mainly bottlenecked by my drive speed and even sometimes by my computer's ethernet port limit!

I wonder if I have something set up in steam that is bottlenecking, then. I use my home network to transfer files pretty frequently so I know that's not my issue. Oh well, I don't have limited bandwidth and my Internet is pretty decent so I don't really need it anyways. Glad it works for others though!
