I can't speak for the whole of europe, but i doubt that P2P sharing has decreased significantly. It's true that napster was a real phenomenon here, but after its demise, people just switched over. Looking around, though, I think people here in belgium have less P2P programmes on their pc's, mostly the most known ones like kazaa/grokster or audiogalaxy.
It should also be pinted out that some ISP's put limits on bandwith usage; mine has a 15 GB per month limit.

And lastly, FTP servers are also very popular here.
