What do you do if you can't find a movie on torrents? (infosec.pub)

Live torrents for some old movies and pretty hard to find. I thought about somehow extracting .m3u8 but that didn't worked out. Those sits are getting better at hiding real stream URL. Any way to easy do it or something?

What’s your upload bandwidth? Just asking because it is kinda relevant to the topic at hand.

    Technically I pay for symmetrical 1Gbit, functionally I only have around 100Mbit upload bandwidth

    On one hand, that’s great news for uploaders!

    On the other hand - oof! ISPs are bastards! You definitely deserve a bill credit! I was limited to about 100 Mbit when I moved in to my new apartment - turned out the fiber jack was bad. Have you been able to get a tech to check it out? Definitely a pain to get one out to check the physical line sometimes.

    Up until recently, I was limited to 12Mbps through Comcast and had no issues building ratio for the 10 years using those speeds, while also dividing that speed between multiple users remotely streaming from my Plex server.

    A factor that comes to mind as someone who also runs a Plex server with friends is the importance of hard-linking vs copying files. I may be projecting my own experience from when I first started sailing the seas, but you can save a lot of storage space once you learn you can have a torrent folder AND an organized TV/movie folder(s) without doubling your media collection size!

    I'm on 150 mbps and get 0.00 ratio on most torrents. The trackers own guide says to use autobrr on a decent seedbox as the only reliable way to build ratio.

    I think my best torrent is at around 7.0 after 2 or 3 years, all the others are under 1.0

    BS.
    Either you fetch only unpopular media or you arent responding fast enough to requests (I think the time is relevant when talking NVMe vs HDD storage).
    My 1gbit seedbox with HDD storage is maybe tickled most on public trackers and even there it's meh.
    Think my best upload on a private tracker was 20 MiB/s for about 2-3 min before someone else snatched the leech requests.
