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?

I've determined it's basically impossible to do that if you don't own a dedicated high-bandwidth seedbox. That costs a bunch of money

I pay $6 or $7/mo for Ultra.CC and it's 1TB storage with 4TB monthly bandwidth. I never exceed the bandwidth, but the 1TB allows you to seed for quite some time. I set rules to keep stuff until a minimum 10:1 seed ratio, and some rare stuff for 50:1. Some stuff is so minimal/small, it's there indefinitely.

    Yeah, that's what I'm saying, a usenet subscription costs less and you get everything you want without even having to seed anything.

    You keep your ratio when you stop paying for the seedbox, can you also keep your usenet access?

    It's a good point, but you also don't keep your ratio, if you stop seeding and only leech, eventually your ratio gets bad again. You just changed to prepaid volume instead of subscription :D

    But yeah, you also don't need your usenet access forever. It's only for rarely found stuff, remember? You just accumulate those over some time, then pay for a month to get it all, then cancel again. Main tool is public torrents.
