How to Revive Dead Torrents - Isaac - 07-16-2014
I'm not quite sure which section this should go in, so I decided that this would be most suitable for a tutorial of this nature.
NOTE : There's no guarantee that this service will be able to find new trackers and seeds for your torrent. This service will simply try to look for more trackers for your torrent if they exist. Even though there's no success guarantee, this method is still worth a try.
1) Download the .torrent file from a website (e.g : KickAssTorrents) of the torrent you wish to download
2) Upload the .torrent file to : http://btreannouncer.net/btReannounce.php
3) Wait for a minute or two while the system attempts to find alternate trackers for your torrent.
4) Select a new primary announce url (tracker) for your your torrent.
5) Click "ReAnnounce"
6) Select and/or De-select any or all of the remaining announce urls as alternates for your bittorrent client.
7) Click "ReAnnounce" (again)
8) Download your ReAnnounced torrent when you're done and open it with your torrent client.
That's pretty much it, this simple little trick could come in handy for when you need to download something for a torrent with little to no seeds. Enjoy

Thank you!
This could actually prove to be pretty useful. I was recently trying to obtain the 1995 classic "Hackers" and ran into this issue.

I'm glad you liked it mate
PS : That movie is bad ass for sure!, I liked how they used the concept of Social Engineering. Very few people could do it to the extent they portrayed in the movie at that time.
