PlayStation Is Deleting 551 Movies from Customers' Accounts
All the most popular stuff is easily available on public trackers. For older/obscure stuff, you can run your own tracker easily enough that scrapes the DHT, although you'll probably burn through an SSD doing it. https://bitmagnet.io is one such self-hosted piece of software.

Crawling BitTorrent DHTs for Fun and Profit [pdf]
Bitmagnet -https://bitmagnet.io/ - does exactly that. I left it running for a few weeks and then stopped the crawler. Didn't expect much, but still somewhat disappointed by the garbage it reeled in.

Show HN: Every single torrent is on this website
For a more practical version (containing only infohashes that are observed on the dht) there is bitmagnet [1]. No public instances though, you have to self-host

Are We Decentralized Yet?
> There are loads of different tracker sites
Not to mention the mainline DHT. Not impossible or even very resource hungry to run a scraper/crawler/listener and be able to search via it, like bitmagnet (https://bitmagnet.io/) that has some fun pipe-dreams like federation of indexers and something like an decentralized private tracker.

PrivTracker – Private BitTorrent tracker for everyone
> So there's a lot of DHT network scanning going on for sure.
There is an entire category of free software whose purpose is to create an index of the DHT network. :) The idea is to allow users to find and search for torrents in a completely decentralised manner (i.e. without relying on any centralised trackers or search engines).[1] A good example is bitmagnet[0].

[1] With the added benefit of greater resilience, as centralised "chokepoints" are often the primary and only targets of takedowns.

Researchers Showcase Decentralized AI-Powered Torrent Search Engine
If you just want the decentralized torrent search there's also Magnetico [1] and Bitmagnet [2].
Tribler tries to be a whole lot more, including its own tor-like network for anonymity and this latest AI powered search to make it easier to find content you might not know by name

BTFS (BitTorrent Filesystem)
This happens to be one of the pipe dream roadmap milestones for bitmagnet: https://bitmagnet.io/#pipe-dream-features
I used to use magnetico and wanted to make something that would use crawled info hashes to fetch the metadata and retrieve the file listing, then search a folder for any matching files. You'd probably want to pre-hash everything in the folder and cache the hashes.
I hope bitmagnet gets that ability, it would be super cool
