Do I understand this correctly - you're essentially replacing the file system with BitTorrent, as opposed to replacing the database with BitTorrent?

Either way, nice work. I'm sure some future Tim Berners Lee will do something crazy cool on top of this.

Exactly. The database syntax is the same. You're still writing SQL queries against the SQLite engine. I'm just replacing disk-access with network-piece-access.

TorrentPeek goes one step further and puts this idea to use in sites, where interactions on an HTML page can be programmed to perform queries. Instead of AJAX calls, you get these sqltorrent calls.

This is interesting and reminds me of Zeronet.
