Torrent style internet (self.technology)

when downloading torrents you have a bunch of seeders and maybe most won't be online, but some will be. I'm so so tired with services and monopolies. Do you think it would be possible to create an internet where instead of large servers we just have individuals hosting their email service, the communities they like to post in and sharing files. essentially it's just torrent with email and message board

would it be possible to have some traffic encypted, like PM and email etc over a similar protocol like torrents. everyone who wants to use the new web just allocates a certain amount on their hard drive with encryptions and stuff. I know i must sound like a child but it doesn't sound impossible. am i crazy?

oh, allocating like 100gb per user would become more expensive for AI bots as well right?
