Not sure if the magnet scheme really does this. Even if it does, all magnets are is a URI scheme. There needs to be some underlying application which implements things the right way...
There will still be a need for a central server of some sort to allow peers to find each other. It may be less centralised - eg a central server directing you onto a smaller "central server", but will ultimately need to exist in some form.
