I think IPFS could be a good provider by having support for downloading
from multiple sources and while the clients don't work through Tor, there
are many public gateways.
When attempting to find a list of public gateways, I found
https://github.com/ipfs/public-gateway-checker/blob/master/gateways.json .
I am not sure how the procedure could be automated, but manually it would
work by installing ipfs, creating a folder for requested content, "ipfs
add -r directory/" and going to https://example.com/ipfs/HASH (which was
given by the previous command) to download it. Alternatively for single
file "ipfs add -w file" so a directory is created for it preserving the
filename instead of changing it to the hash when downloading.
Volunteers could also host the content by using "ipfs pin add HASH"
possibly reducing server load.
