edonkey and napster required bootstrap nodes, I think? and sending your search terms out to other peers on the network could be considered less private, depending on your view. You can search bittorrent via DHT in a similar manner (I'm unsure if the bootstrap nodes there are strictly required) or search an indexer website from one IP then use the magnet link to download from another IP.
