I like this idea! In my research we deal with relatively large amounts of sequence data, all of which needs to be associated with geo (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gds/). While geo is in many ways a good thing, it is not the most pleasant to use - I would love it if we could use something like torrents instead.

I feel like there is a danger, however, that using torrents would facilitate the thousands of nonstandard (often redundant) formats bioinformaticians seem to create.
