It sounds interesting. Is there any daemon running a torrent client? Or is it possible to select a custom one?

Btfs is a "glue" between libfuse and libtorrent.

libfuse is used for the Kernel Fuse interface and libtorrent is used as a bittorrent client.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Probably, given the existence of osxfuse ( https://osxfuse.github.io/ )

Yeah, trying it now - but I'd be surprised if it builds update: nope. http://pastebin.com/Zf8fVh1D

There's also:

https://github.com/mafintosh/torrent-mount

which claims to have been used with OSXFuse...
