Actually BitTorrent suffers torrent-rot thanks to the DRM that are private trackers, not a single mainstream client offers you the ability to just DHT/PEX/LSD(LPD) a torrent which means if the trackers go down the torrents die. I find it a big concern, even more so in the future.

If ipfs suffers the same problem - noone knows which hash to look up - the files will be irrevocably lost.

Isn't tracker "rot" what magnet links were meant to solve or have I misunderstood that?

Magnet links can't solve it if the torrent is marked private. There's no DHT, PEX and LSD(LPD).
