IPFS would be great because it will allow anyone to lookup and share
substitutes with a low barrier to entry and it allows for redundancy
too. Unlike bittorrent it comes with a built in webinterface and it is
a merkle tree with local deduplication.
I think IPFS is a pretty solid proposition since so many are building
solutions on it.
