I have this torrent with supposedly 1 seed, it's been sitting at 2% for months.

Now I'm chasing each file individually on emule, once completed I copy them to the torrent directory. I managed to get 41,1% and share it to maybe 5 other peers that were stuck like me.

emule

I feel like I just remembered a missing piece of my childhood again.

Same. I legitimately forgot about emule until now.

It's also worth checking debrid services like Real Debrid, Premiumize, TorBox, AllDebrid, etc to see if they have the torrent cached, if you have an account at any of these services. Sometimes there's torrents with 0 or 1 seeds that are still cached, especially if it's a movie or TV show.

If it's cached then you could just download it at full speed from the cache then use those files to seed.
