This is an interesting idea.
I find files on webservers are more reliable and die less soon than torrents which often disappear quite quickly (no peers). But maybe this is a consequence of there not being good backing of those torrents (as you say there is support for primary HTTP sources).
I think someone should put webtorrent into a client (can't be that hard) and experiment with it.
