I miss the days when it was easy to find content on Napster and later Kazaa. Today, Solseek seems to be the only p2p network that still preserves that feeling while gnutella fells more like a graveyard and torrent needs external trackers.

Is there any decentralized p2p network where it is easy to find content nowadays?

Agree with you. I fondly remember the days of browsing and trying to get invited to DC++ hubs and trying to add more local data in order to see more. Gone are those days.

We're so close as well! P2P is stronger than ever, especially torrents who have very mature implementations now. We're just missing being able to distribute the metadata in order to get the torrents (or magnet links) to be P2P as well, something like TPB on a P2P network would make things unstoppable.

Having a distributed search engine is far from easy (there's the main issue of trust in the index). It's possible to do it the other way around, thanks to DHT scraping being allowed: everyone can scrape the peers and build an index at home, with tools like magnetico (https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico) for example
