Bittorrent-backed npm module distribution. #2

Situations like NodeConf involve massive numbers of people trying to install npm modules with only a tiny pipe to the internet. A local mirror provided some help, but it would be great if nodules could be served up by torrents (preferring local network connections), so that trips out to the registry wouldn't be as necessary.

An IPFS-backed npm mirror would suffice.
