I'm following the developement of zeronet for the past 3 years. I'm not convinced that it is the final solution to the decentralized internet. A main thing that bothers me is the insane lookup-time for site with a low distribution. The same problem occurs with ipfs btw. It takes up to one minute to find a the correct node when only one node hast the content-hash.

I need to read the IPFS paper but surely there's some kind of DHT to find data?

DHTs are not fast (or secure, but that’s another story).

Right, and finding rare content in that DHT is going to take a while.

Finding "interesting" content would be a more accurate description of the problem.
