I'm starting to collect some documentaries for my server but having a hard time finding torrents on the public sites. Is there a torrent site that specializes in documentaries?

Have you considered your local library? A lot of them have an excellent dvd/blu-ray selection especially when it comes to documentaries.

I know it is a little more work but you also get a lot more control of how you rip it.

Also, in the US, many libraries give you free access to the Kanopy streaming service which has a lot of documentaries on it.

https://forums.mvgroup.org/index.php is my go-to for documentary torrents.

Consider non-torrent P2P platforms like eMule/eD2K. If you know what the name of you're looking for, there's a fair amount of obscure material to be downloaded that can be difficult to find otherwise.

eD2K is slow, but effective.
