If I work for Fox (or whomever), I share a file called Logan.2017.1080p.WEB-DL.H264.AC3.mkv but it's actually random bytes. In fact, I have a bunch of virtual hosts all around the globe sharing the same random bytes under that filename. How do you tell the difference between what I'm sharing and the file you probably want that isn't garbage?

The easiest way to date as been to have a website that indexes torrent files. As that grows increasingly unfeasible, how does a fully decentralized system fulfill the same function?
