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.

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.

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

Thank you all. Happy now.

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