Can we leverage torrents somehow to create distributed indices ?

Wouldn't blockchain make more sense? (Never thought I would say this but here we are)

Problem with torrents/blockchain in this case are twofold:

- unless there is enough people using it, it's slow

- since you are basically crowdsourcing you need to create an enticing incentive which works for everyone involved

Torrents + Blockchain + _Rust_ would be even better!

Could you elaborate on how blockchain would make more sense? I am failing to see how it does.
