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

    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 did eventually figure out how to get it. It didn’t help that it is not the title of the book.

        I have since learned how to use a few functions with searches that make it much easier.

        But thank you for pointing out my flaws.

      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…
