Is 1337x Broken with dots or am I using it wrong? Trying to find the movie C.H.U.D. from 1984 but search returns nothing or only wrong results. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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

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

Kinda low on alternatives with rarbg gone. Any recs?

[–] ThePhantomGM@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Torrentgalaxy and RUTracker are the ones that come to mind

I'm sorry but isn't that 1377x?

[–] Markoff@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

no, 1337x.to is the official one

[–] hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 months ago

Yes so I was implying that parent poster might've been using the unofficial fake site instead.

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.

[–] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Definitely Torrentgalaxy. It looks suspicious af but I haven't had any issues with it.

[–] Markoff@kbin.social 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

why would I even care about it, if only thing I torrent are movies and TV shows?

[–] RealFknNito@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

.. because you can download malware instead of movies and TV shows? It's an unsafe site now.
