Use a DHT search engine, it there is a torrent for it you should be able to find it.

I am curious what is the show? I might be able find it.

Is the Piracy room on Matrix an acceptable place to ask for that kind of stuff? I mean it is End-to-End Encrypted. Even if it isn't allowed there you could always ask someone else via DM on Matrix, is why I highly recommend people make and link their matrix accounts to their Lemmy profiles. You do have to know who to ask of course but these types of vague posts are great for that.

Note: Can't use Lemmy's built-in DMs you need to use Matrix or some other E2EE service, especially if they're going to share direct links to you. Don't use a corporate one like Facebook messenger or Whatsapp which is advertised as E2EE, those are a scam and they break their own encryption.

Is it just because the forum would be flooded with people asking for titles

This, and it risks the community getting shut down.

If it's really that hard to find, you could give back to the community by purchasing, ripping, and sharing it.

If you use qbittorrent, they have a search function built in so you don't have to manually search every site. I have found many shows that were impossible to find on sites because they have odd names.

If I really couldn't find something and I was really that desperate, I'd just try to buy it somewhere. Assuming it's also difficult to buy, I'd be looking at online marketplaces and op shops. If pirates are going to keep hiding behind the "piracy is a service problem" line then at some point they do need to admit that paying for the product is actually the more sensible and straightforward option if they have reached a deadend elsewhere.

You can always try 4chan's /r/ board. It's specifically for requesting shit, usually links to pirated content.

Haven't teied using it in almost a decade though, so can't vouch too well for it.

Sorry, you're not going to find The Duck Factory anywhere. Despite being Jim Carrey's first starring roll, it's just a formulaic 80s sitcom with limited production value and typical period writing.

If it's hard to find, first i try searching via jackett integration into qbittorrent. if unsuccessful, i go over to xrel.to and search for it there (its a pure information site, don't ask for downloads there pls). You can verify if there has ever been a release of the specific title, and if, you can see the exact name of the release. if you can't find it there too, you can be pretty sure that there never was a release, neither p2p nor scene. if it's newer content, you can try to search later; if its older content, go buy it and upload it yourself (safely!) so the next person doesn't have the same issue.

one of the big benefits of private trackers is that they have request systems and on the good ones requests are getting filled constantly.

Get on a few private trackers and make a request

After I check the usual torrent sites, if I can't find it on Usenet then I try finding random sketchy streaming sites (just by duckduckgoing title + year + stream) because usually you can youtube-dl them with a little fiddling, then my last resort is a DHT indexer like btdig. That's more risk with viruses but if you're paying attention it's not that hard to avoid, but DHT indexes have lots of ancient stuff so be prepared to wait for seeds if you find it.

Sometimes I also find what I'm looking for on like page 7 of duckduckgo results at archive.org

Edit: also check soulseek - it's primarily for music but you can share any file. I share my entire movies collection and get a constant stream of people downloading from me daily so it seems people search for and seem to also share TV and movies so it's worth a check.
