Two thoughts: - - What you describe as obfuscated URLs sounds a lot like precursor designs of hidden services. For example, encoding a path into the locator works only as long all nodes in that path are functional. Hidden services (and other designs) have directory services to overcome that problem. Why make a step backwards? - - Tor is made for interactive communication, not for exchanging single files. Even if you don't intend to exchange bulk files, others will do so. Unfortunately, the Tor network does not have the necessary capacity.
