This is one possible solution, although the use of PGP might be a bit too much for an average p2p user. An easier and similarly tamper-proof method would be to publish/mail/distribute (through trusted channels) just a single ed2k link for each big html document you described.
Anyway, I am sure that this will be just a minor challenge for the very flexible and resourceful p2p community. In the long run it is only good to replace the vulnerable and bandwidth-starved websites with something more resilient and robust.
