Could you perhaps (at a cost) burn magnet links for each torrent into the Ethereum blockchain? This would enable any node to mount and scan the ledger in a way that would be challenging to prevent, considering the financial incentives for the network to persist. Someone else is operating the decentralized, durable storage system for you.

It's a hard problem to solve, see SciHub, Libgen, Anna's Archive, etc.

For sure that could be done. I guess the benefit of having an ML search engine is that it may be able to infer what you're looking for even though you can't exactly name it.

But yeah, you're right. Burning magnet links into Ethereum seems like it might work decently, never thought of that.
