I clicked your link. Then tried a few variations of it. Didn't work. It's online now. That means they can't do HA and rolling updates on the cheap despite all the software/hardware to do so. Can't rely on that but they'll pull off:

"This forms a generalized Merkle DAG, a data structure upon which one can build versioned file systems, blockchains, and even a Permanent Web. IPFS combines a distributed hashtable, an incentivized block exchange, and a self-certifying namespace. IPFS has no single point of failure, and nodes do not need to trust each other."

Wouldn't rely on it for production. I'll go back later and check it out for curiosity, though.
