Finding Movies When Seeders Are Scarce: Alternatives to YTS.mx and 1337x

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.
You can try adding more trackers. I use this list:

- Great list, thanks!
- Is there a list for pure i2p trackers?
- what do you do with it?
  
  In my client (Transmission) you can double click any torrent to open an extra windows with various details. There you find a tab "trackers" and at the bottom an option to add trackers. Then I can just copy-paste in the entire list.
SolidTorrents is a pretty good aggregator. You can also search on non-English sites (I use Korean ones).
