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?

Your assessment is correct for particular private trackers. I belong to several and they all operate in different ways with different rules. What you are describing is my experience with trackers like TorrentLeech, my least preferred tracker. But on the other end of the spectrum is a tracker like Seedpool, where it is very easy to maintain a ratio just by keeping your client online with some data available.

Private trackers can be very accommodating and useful without a seedbox. Just find one that suits you. They are not all the same.

I prefer private trackers that permit cross seeding and decent rewards for making data available over time (in lieu of focusing just on how much data you transmitted).

Several trackers also freely give data buffer just for interacting with the site on a regular basis. Some have simple daily tasks like commenting or thanking an uploader. Others just want you to click a button and voila, you have 20 gigs free to use everyday.

Yeah, then the problem becomes again, "how do you get into the right private trackers", and most of the time the answer is "hey show us how you did on other private trackers", and then you ask yourself if you're in a philosophical dilemma involving eggs and chickens.
