If you would just randomly proxy 50% of all connections it would be enough to make finding out the identity of sharers more difficult if you are simply searching for a file and attempting to download it. But even by proxying all connections you won't achieve total anonymity.
It would remain trivial to gather enough data to issue 1,000 subpoenas a week just by having 10 or 20 ultrapeers spying on their leafs.
