How do you go about finding specific items when it's prohibited to even ask? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've been on 1337x, ABC, torrentquest, eztvx, msearch, and pretty much all of the other sites on the megathread, both for "greatest treasures" (the general purpose section) and the movies & TV section specifically. Yet, the show that my wife and I want to watch is nowhere to be found in any of these. We're confused why, as it's not exactly an unpopular show.

Despite it not seeming to exist in a torrent format anywhere, among many other shows, it is forbidden both here and elsewhere to ask for help on finding a specific title. I was just hoping to learn the reasoning why. Is it just because the forum would be flooded with people asking for titles instead of taking the time to dig through the resources? What are people supposed to do when they do dig through the resources then?

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 it just to buy a DVD or BlueRay version of it.

yeah, i didn't want to get into the private tracker stuff, since i never used one before; i described pretty much the ressources you have as a "commoner". I am aware that there are many specialized sources out there, where a lot more obscure material is available, but most of those take special effort to gain access to.

And then rip it and upload so that the next person doesn't have to.
