Anna's Archive has this system. This also sounds like Freenet.

  Freenet has a bunch of encryption, which is out of scope for this. What does Anna's Archive have, besides torrents?

    I'm a bit confused. Isn't this such a system where people can volunteer disk space? https://annas-archive.org/torrents https://annas-archive.org/torrents I think I'm misunderstanding you.

      My system is more "I want to donate X GB" and it handles everything, filling that space up, getting the rarest torrents, getting updates, etc. Think of it as a central server managing a globally-distributed, unreliable JBOD in a "push" manner, rather than just downloading a torrent and being done.

          Hmm, maybe, I don't remember exactly how it worked. I'll watch the video, thanks!
