I’m looking for C.H.U.D (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.H.U.D.). I tried the following searches when searching 1337x.to:

  1. “C.H.U.D.” – The result was: “Please make sure atleast one word in your query is more then 3 characters. Your search is too short.” And I saw it had changed my search string to “C H U D”

  2. “CHUD” – this returned a bunch of porn, and eventually “C.H.U.D.II.Bud.the.Chud.1989.1080p.BluRay.H264.AAC” showed up in the list. But not the first C.H.U.D movie. And when I searched for “C.H.U.D.II” in the search bar, it once again claimed the search query was too short, and replaced the dots with spaces.

Please help.

Edit: problem solved thanks to you! Just had to out a space between C.H.U.D. and 1984

    They had a DDOS attack last week that took the site down for a few days. Since coming back up, I haven’t been able to connect to it through radarr or sonarr (via prowlarr) even though you can access the site via a web browser. They’ve probably either restricted access or part of their site is still broken. In either case, there’s not much we can do but wait for a solution.

    If you know the details, put the year in the search. “c.h.u.d. 1984” gets six results.

    I had similar issues looking for a movie titled space 1999.

    I kept getting every movie made in 1999 or that had the word space in it.

    I eventually found it… At the library…

    I dunno man, I just entered “c h u d 1984” into qbit search and immediately got 1.6GB 1080p YTS rip result, even some integral cut

    but yeah 1337x search plugin seems broken, not getting any results for few days, everything I get is from bt4gprx.com and torlock plugins, even torrentgalaxy plugin seems not work

    I thought we stopped using 1337x because they blatantly allowed malware on their site.

          yes but somebody found some sort of malware in a video game that was hosted on that site, and the hosts didn’t want to do anything about it or something. I don’t remember the details, I just remember that you’re not supposed to download anything executable from 1337x

      First I’m hearing of it but I haven’t been keeping up to date on it. That sucks. What else can we use? LimeTorrents tried to get me to install blatant malware in order to even search the site so I noped the fuck out.

    If the search query have dot in it, just replace it with a space, like this: C H U D 1984

    Lol C.H.U.D. I loved that movie. I probably rented it 500 times when I was in 4th-5th Grade. Now I’m gonna have to get it…
