IPFS is a global, versioned, peer-to-peer filesystem.

It combines good ideas from Git, BitTorrent, Kademlia, SFS, and the Web. It
is like a single bittorrent swarm, exchanging git objects. IPFS provides an
interface as simple as the HTTP web, but with permanence built in. You can
also mount the world at /ipfs.

How does it work? Read the paper http://static.benet.ai/t/ipfs.pdf
