Live torrents for some old movies and pretty hard to find. I thought about somehow extracting .m3u8 but that didn't worked out. Those sits are getting better at hiding real stream URL. Any way to easy do it or something?

Massively depends on the private tracker. Some have a hard economy where you must seed every byte, but there are plenty of trackers that have bonus points based on seed time and torrent size which you can exchange for download allowances.

Some easy to get in trackers are torrentleech and seedpool, AFAIK both of them have open signups occasionally.

But that's kind of my point, if it is so hard to find a private tracker without that system and then also joining them is hard again, why would you bother? 95% of stuff you can find on public trackers and for the rest you can go on usenet once in a while.

Why would you want to join one without a bon-system?

Exactly what I am doing. And I get the best of all worlds.
Usenet (which get's most of it from trackers)
Torrents
DDL from known and unknown pages
