On: BitTorrent file system

Is this basically all the benefits of health checks in ZFS through distributed computing?

Not exactly; the checksums in BitTorrent are fairly strong, but you could get that benefit with just a FUSE layer that knew how to associate checksum metadata with files.

I also am not entirely sure what benefit this brings other than "amusing proof of concept", currently, so take my above note with a grain of salt.
