These IPFS issues are basically UI-related. You wouldn't expect a torrent to start within 2 seconds. You wouldn't expect your torrent to be shared autonomously either. Technically, sharing IPFS hashes along with release names (similar to the crc32 on pre databases) would be very efficient, if only it was popular with a proper UI and indexing tooling. These hashes could even be signed by scene groups in the nfo.
