yes, it gives me the same error

@Rikhil-Nell you are saving it as a *.txt file!!

@Rikhil-Nell you are saving it as a *.txt file!!

Check 0:43, it states that it is a python file

[xavier2k6]

0:28 save as type! so it probably has .txt added to it - double check

[xavier2k6]

If I right-click -> save link as, there's no issue & plugin loads correctly

However, if I do what your doing & click on link -> save as (there's the issue & plugin won't load)

@Rikhil-Nell Did this resolve your issue?

Found a fix, With qBit closed, went to "%localuserdata%\qBittorrent\nova3", renamed the "engines" folder to "engines1", reopened qBit and managed to drag-drop all the engines from the old folder straight to the "Install search plugins" window and they got installed.

@xavier2k6 nah man that didn't work either

[xavier2k6]

Try this:
one337x.zip

If that doesn't work, then try the following:

1. Copy: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/scadams/56635407b8dfb8f5f7ede6873922ac8b/raw/f654c10468a0b9945bec9bf31e216993c9b7a961/one337x.py
2. At search plugin source dialog, select web link
3. Paste: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/scadams/56635407b8dfb8f5f7ede6873922ac8b/raw/f654c10468a0b9945bec9bf31e216993c9b7a961/one337x.py
