Before going into the details, I would like to check a few facts with you: 1) Currently: Large files in CHK@ spitted in smaller chunks, they are called "split files". 2) split file chunks are distributed all over the network. No body own the whole file. 3) nor do you know who own the chunks -- you have to keep polling from the location. 4) As a content-addressable network, files are downloaded from multiple nodes already. 5) One of the BT advantage is the tracker and queuing, which is impossible to implement (efficiently) without changing the routing details. So, does your proposal take care of the above facts?
