Is it possible to create an IPFS-based torrent network?

  IPFS has very similar features as BitTorrent, you can remove torrent from that sentence and it would mean the same. You may be interested in BTFS, which is elements of IPFS but using BitTorrent as the protocol.

  basically, if you don't look too hard, ipfs is bittorrent improved. The structures were cleaned up and given a shave, the trackers removed in favor of just putting everyone on the dht.

    Bittorrent's trackerless Swarm protocol, and IPFS, both use Kademlia DHTs. So another way to look at it, is that every modern p2p protocol is just eMule :)

    IPFS is BitTorrent v2 but somewhat older and worse
