This is literally what IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) http://ipfs.io/ http://ipfs.io/ was created to solve.

  Without knowing I would assume IPFS is built on TCP, wouldn't that be an issue?

    It's built on a generic interface so other protocols could be used.

    More transports coming! IPFS is built on libp2p, and so far all available libp2p transports have been stream-oriented (TCP, Websockets, WebRTC, Onion, QUIC), but different types of transports are in the works: packet-oriented (UDP, Ethernet, WebRTC-unreliable) and store-and-forward. Apart from that IPFS is built and layered in a way that makes the application layer independent of transport semantics - the network in terms of connections and hosts is abstracted away.
