We can't know how big a percentage share and not.
Gnutella allows for creating very accurate statistics. I know LimeWire has Gigs of data on that topic (although not in a presentable form).

PONG messages, broadcast to the network contain number of files shared and the size of files shared.

QUERYHIT messages contain an indicator if the host has successfully completed an upload in this session.

It's actually very simple to use those messages to create those statistics you want.
