Reputation? For my use case, I evaluate a torrent based on the number of seeders. You mentioned that anybody can post a magnet link on any forum. Yes. But where do they get that magnet link from in the first place? I mean, obviously the person who creates the torrent has it. Is that the only way? You mention DHT. My torrent client does that. Hm, is there a client that I can use to "search" DHT? Failing that, is there…
DHT is a way to discover peers who also have pieces of the same torrent you are downloading. It's an alternative to using a centralized Tracker to tell your client about who has the pieces of the file you need.

Not more than a week, e.g. a broadcast recording of Pokemon S17E46 (broadcast Dec 6) is present.
Then it is not complete, or the search system does not work very well, since I can not find a torrent I uploaded over a year ago.
Sounds plausible - I note that the paging links don't work. Compare http://thepiratebay.ee , which has the same problem.

Basically, centralization is needed for deleting fakes, viruses, wrongly labeled stuff. Totally decentralized approach will have all the negatives KaZaA had in the 00s ("matrix.avi.exe").
Decentralized with quality control would be a hard but interesting problem. You could do upvotes/downvotes using cryptographic signatures use a little web-based authority to let people know whose signatures are reputable.

Yeah. When someone tells me "we must stop this sharing of valuable content!" I answer with something like "Here is all anyone needs to download your content: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:e6da54b1ad507ec6217610dbc71c248a1a49f925"... or whatever the magnet link is for the current LibreOffice ;-)

a crowd funded approach could work to filter out "bad content". Same way as here on HN, people could vote (plus or minus) to help rank the content.
You'd have to mitigate against the Sybil attack. Crowd funding is one way (ironic since I think you meant crowdsourced?) but as we know from SEO optimisation, all that does is force you to pay to get your spam/malware promoted.

Hey Adnan, might not be a good idea to tie your porn habbits quite so publicly with all your linkedIn and social media info so clearly visible. Just a heads up from a fellow developer who's done plenty of dumb shit :-)

What is porn?
Otherwise, I gather that everybody has porn habits!
