Any sources to get scientific papers for my own interest? Doesn't really matter if available as torrents or on the web to view. Thanks in advance!

You could try Sci-Hub and LibGen. If you don't find what you're looking for, you can always email the authors or other scholars who may have access to the paper you're interested in. A less alternative site would be arXiv, but it just has preprints.

Emailing the author has quite a good succes rate. Many just forced to use a publisher to get it out but love giving their paper to those who are interested.

Atleast that's my experience in trying to get certain papers for my studies.
