There are also non-english language public trackers that don’t leverage western style filename rules.

E.g. mazepa.to (Ukrainian) and rutracker.org (russian). The sites require registration (open to all), but the torrents are public (no ratio requirements and torrents do not have the private flag).

The search functions support English language titles with no issues at all. You can find any mainstream movie/show on both trackers. Rutracker has some niche content that I’ve not been able to find on specialized private trackers.

One drawback is that the trackers require local language dubs/VO, so some some content is never released on them.

if you can’t find it there too, you can be pretty sure that there never was a release, neither p2p nor scene.

This is not really true. I tried a few searches of more obscure movies and they don’t have releases that are available on multiple private trackers.

That being said, if you can’t find a release, the best option is to buy a DVD or BlueRay version of it.

Surprised the authorities would go after users of a private tracker, seems like a low impact area compared to public trackers or even pirate movie streaming sites.

These are private trackers, right?
