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?

I'm on 150 mbps and get 0.00 ratio on most torrents. The trackers own guide says to use autobrr on a decent seedbox as the only reliable way to build ratio.

I think my best torrent is at around 7.0 after 2 or 3 years, all the others are under 1.0

BS.
Either you fetch only unpopular media or you arent responding fast enough to requests (I think the time is relevant when talking NVMe vs HDD storage).
My 1gbit seedbox with HDD storage is maybe tickled most on public trackers and even there it's meh.
Think my best upload on a private tracker was 20 MiB/s for about 2-3 min before someone else snatched the leech requests.
