Of course with content and services. As I already said, there  are
PtP networks where you can find anything (films, music, new software etc),
game servers, chats, forums, radio and TV broadcasts, FTP resources, torrent 
retracker from Internet (so you can download torrents at LAN speed), even 
mirrors of repositories of  popular Linux distros (unfortunately, not 
OpenSUSE though) etc etc.

For example, film libraries of my network: http://video.multilocal.ru/,
http://video.userlan.ru/films.php just click and download. 
Games download server: http://games.multilocal.ru/

Game servers: http://www.steamworld.ru/index.php

There re many other resources which are not accessible 
from Internet.

Girls very often just sit in the DC++ chat.
