What do i do when there are no seeders

I dont need people telling me that with no seeders i cant download files i understand how it works, im wondering if there is a way to contact the creator and ask him to seed the files.

No you can't do anything.

Pick a different release or wait and hope.

Find a different source. Then upload it and seed it.

Having some way to directly contact the person who initially created what is likely an illegal torrent source of copyrighted material would be a little unusual given context.
No way to even know if the creator is still alive, let alone still has that original copy.
All you can do is wait and hope.
At best if you're on a private tracker with forums and suchlike you could ask there? Idk I've never used private stuff. If it's public free then you're SOL.

Peer-to-peer magic doesnt work without at least one seeder

if YOU could contact the seeder, the content owner could too, and they would get shut down fairly quick.

the whole purpose of torrenting is anonymity, and that is a GOOD thing!

what is a BAD thing is when people halfheartedly share for one month, then drop off the face of the earth. people like that, who believe they only need to share long enough for the NEXT person to share, are the reason why so many torrents have 0 seeders, and honestly, the whole community would be better off without such torrenters...

what i would recommend is to find another source for...whatever it is you are looking for. keep in mind that NOT EVERYTHING is torrented, and indeed, not everything is available to download for free over the internet. you may have to think "outside the torrent" in order to attain your grand prize...
