hello,
i have a question.
would it be possible or even feasible to use this mechanism on different web pages by injecting the code with tampermonkey/greasemonkey as userscript.

anyone else using the same userscript would be able to fetch pages from cachep2p nodes?

The problem is that you need a way to discover the torrent for the official content. Hashes of the content must be served by a trusted party (the original website) to ensure you are not downloading arbitrary content crafted by an attacker.

WikipediaP2P basically implemented your idea for Wikipedia (without Wikipedia's cooperation) as a browser plugin, but it leaves users open to attack by malicious seeders. See guerrerocarlos/WikipediaP2P#5
