distributed,p2p
A file-distribution P2P distributed network, somewhat like BitTorrent, but with some interesting properties.
The whitepaper mentions Kademlia as a big inspiration, and uses a "custom" algorithm based on Coral and S/Kademlia, both of which are extensions/variants of Kademlia.

It seems ipfs dag get <CID> can be used to get the needed disk space to store it. Example:
$ ipfs dag get bafybeifrpvm2vhbbjj6b34tgr4ocnbtzcxdfvsx7wo272vigl2c5zofoz4 | jq . { "Data": { "/": { "bytes": "CAE" } }, "Links": [ { "Hash": { "/": "bafybeicmcexgvfv6m6rgrflrmx4kait6yiqhhagalj32o644h46a6vmyle" }, "Name": "books", "Tsize": 39279602 }, { "Hash": { "/": "bafybeidy7fanclwpc2ei6sba5qo475l3o66uzv6e4bwojt4os5czndpupi" }, "Name": "videos", "Tsize": 112231196979 } ] }
For single-block content doesn't work so well:
$ ipfs dag get bafkreicysg23kiwv34eg2d7qweipxwosdo2py4ldv42nbauguluen5v6am | jq . { "/": { "bytes": "aGVsbG8K" } }
