So, in answer to your question:
"I wonder what percentage of people never download a 'commonly downloaded' file?"
The answer is that everyone who ever wanted a 'hot' release of some new large file, like a movie or game, were in fact asking for a 'commonly downloaded' file. That's most people, I bet.

Not me. Couldn't care less about them.

I think those hot new releases propagate plenty fast, from what I hear from my broadband-enabled friends.

Sorry to do this:
What's the most commonly searched for files? I bet those are also the most commonly downloaded. You really want a hard drive full of that shite?

I think you need to encrypt it for a start, then all you've done is duplicate freenet, which already exists, so why start again?
