Torrent is fast for big files, it's not designed for webby stuff.
Freenet should be a good match, and would allow read-only access in
regimes which might block or filter wikipedia. Hopefully it will be a
bit faster in 0.7 than it is now. OTOH it's unreliable. :) It may be
useful to bundle files together...

There would not be a links problem with Freenet, at least not for the
latest version of the articles themselves.

IMHO it will eventually be possible to provide something like a Wiki
which has write support over Freenet... either with some sort of central
server maintaining the absolute latest up to date version (only really
needed for modifications), or with some more complex merging system a la
distributed RCS.

Volunteers are appreciated, and should contact the authors of the page.
