What steps can be taken when there are no seeders available for a torrent? Are there alternative websites, aside from YTS.mx and 1337x, that are reliable for discovering movies?
Enable DHT on your tlrrent client, I did no long ago and really improves with not very popular torrents
Correct answer. And this is going to help way more than adding a few trackers. Also consider doing the port-forward in your router, if you’re behind a NAT and it doesn’t do it automatically. That makes even more peers available.
You cand try adding more trackers to your torrent
I don’t want to create a torrent; I’m simply looking for the English version of a movie.
That’s not what this is. You can download a supposedly dead torrent, add more trackers that might have peers available for that torrent to it, and re-add the modified torrent to your client.
Most clients support adding trackers directly.
