Can I put a "Watch Live" link to iflix.io which would stream the specified torrent (known by it's hash) next to each torrent download button ?

I love the concept, and I think it's wonderful especially for mobile device users...

The only fear I have, as other have noted is that I do really see how you will be able to scale if it takes off, and how you will be motivated to maintain it if it does not :/

Cheers anyway ! :)

Would you happen to have a working demo of the webtorrent.js in the browser?

Check out http://instant.io which is powered by WebTorrent

Nice! Why not create a different protocol then if they're not yet compatible? Adoption for a browser-based p2p streaming tool should be seamless. If the only problem is BitTorrent integration, go your own way. ps: your site seems down.
