I'm trying to dl a documentary from 2015 called Sensitive but there are no seeds/peers. I searched the piratebay, 1337x, yts, torrentz2. Any idea where to search further?

I've had luck before just leaving something in a ready state for a few days. Sometimes a seeder will appear for a brief moment and bless you with their bandwidth. Remember to pay it forward in cases like that where the thing is rare and not in a lot of demand. You can theoretically leave it running forever and never worry about seeding too much.

Also a good idea to get a seedbox.

This one? Sensitive: The Untold Story (2015)

There is a 1080p version with 4 seeders on ext.to

Yap, thanks!

If that's the correct one i can also say that from the Usenet side Drunkenslug also finds 2 entries (1080p h264; one with 4.8 another with 3.3gb). Didn't bother downloading, but the uploads arent that old and have some grabs so should work just fine.

Installing the search function on Qbittorrent is really simple, and is my go to when I can't find something elsewhere

Woah, how is this possible? Mind sending a guide or post about this?

Thanks a bunch 🌻

I didn't know this was possible. Thanks so much!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I just checked, if it's called Sensitive - The Untold Story, there's quite a few on there. Top one is saying 76 seeders, which usually means about 10 anyway!

You need to install Python and fuck about a bit, but it's well worth it. Reddit has multiple guides on how to do it

You can start looking for another torrent that has at least one or two seeds, and even if they have none, add them to your download queue

If you're lucky, someone, with some of those torrents, will connect eventually, maybe

You could also search for a direct link, download it, and upload it yourself for future pirates

Or as a last resource, make a sacrifice, buy a cd copy if it exists, rip it, and be the one to put it back online

Good luck matey

Yep search public libraries online and maybe get lucky

[-] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

Some seeders rotate, so just let it sit for a while. I’ve had success after a few weeks of waiting. Works more often than you’d think.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

One plan is to leave it leaching for weeks and hope someone appears (then you must seed)

Another is to search the hash to try find more versions with different trackers

[-] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

FWIW: archive.org torrents are perma-seeded. If you can find the torrent on archive, you're in business.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

You could add more trackers to the torrent using a list like the one on github hosted by ngosang.

thats not how you hyperlink my dude

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I'm sorry, I'm new at this. How do you do it?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Put the text you want to be the link in brackets then immediately follow with the URL in parenthesis. For example [your text](https://lemmy.world) turns into your text.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Thank you! I wondered before how it was done this way.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Thank you all. Happy now.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Ive found success configuring my client to check a huge list of trackers for more peers seems to woek 9/10 times

[-] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Are dht and pex enabled?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Check around the stream sites or Direct Downloads here on the megathread

Alot of things I cant find on torrents are still around for streaming and dload that way.
