Isnt IPFS effectively the same thing as trackerless torrents? i.e. its a DHT for registration and lookup of distributed resources where segments can be downloaded from multiple sources in parallel.
I think the main difference is that in IPFS the content ids (equivalent to torrent hashes) support multiple encodings, etc, and peer connections are more flexible than bittorrent "nodes" in their addressing - i.e. multiple protocols/transports, etc.
