YIFY/ YTS Shuts Down Forever – The End of a Piracy Icon

Popular torrent release group YIFY and its official YTS website have shut down permanently, trusted sources have confirmed to TorrentFreak. The unexpected shutdown marks the end of an era that started at the turn of the decade. More information about the precise circumstances will become public in the near future.

YTSTen days ago the popular movie torrent site YTS stopped working.

The downtime raised concern among many BitTorrent users, not least because the site belongs to movie release group YIFY, which has dominated public BitTorrent sites for several years.

Today we can report that this reign has come to an end. YIFY and YTS have shutdown permanently, as predicted earlier this week.

A lot of information has been made available over the past several days and multiple sources have now confirmed that YTS and YIFY will not return. The entire operation has stopped which means that no new official YIFY movie releases will appear on any torrent site, anywhere.

TF has received additional explanatory details from trusted sources, but we have been asked not to reveal all of the information just yet. However, our sources confirm without doubt that the shutdown is permanent.

The operator of YTS/YIFY, meanwhile, remains silent.

The news marks the end of a remarkable era. YIFY first arrived on the scene in 2010 and the group has shared over 6,000 releases since.

The group’s website (YTS.to) also gained popularity in recent years. Earlier this year the operator informed TF that they had close to a million unique visitors per day, generating six million pageviews.

The YTS/YIFY shutdown doesn’t mean that piracy will end anytime soon, but it’s one of the most significant changes to the landscape in recent history. YIFY releases were consistently among the most-pirated movies, week after week.

In an interview in 2013, YIFY attributed this popularity to the presentation and consistency of its releases.

“I personally think that many people are following and downloading YIFY encodes due to the consistency we offer in our releasing. Everything from the consistent film cover art, to the information layout, and ultimately to the file-size of our encodes,” YIFY said.

“I believe this is important because people like stability and assurance with what they are downloading. By adding consistency to a reasonable file-size, we have filled a spot in the community, which seemingly has a lot of demand,” he added.

YIFY also played a crucial part as the primary movie supplier for many Popcorn Time forks. The size of the shutdown fallout will become apparent during the weeks to come.

Over the past several days many people have been misled by fake YIFY websites, Facebook accounts and impostors. These should not be trusted and are trying to profit from the confusion.

We started an effort to salvage as much of YTS data as possible. Two weeks ago, we began collecting YTS data from many different sources: the Google cache, archive.org, Kickass Torrents copies of YIFY torrents etcetera. A few people who still had a large set of cached data and torrents from the YTS API available on their computers helped us as well.

YTS.AG has been born by combining all these different data sets, sanitizing the data, and recovering a large amount of the torrents uploaded by YIFY. We are a new team / releasing group continuing the YTS / YIFY project. So, we have created the domain name YTS.AG for publishing all of our newly released torrents, under YIFY release.

Our new team is continuing the YTS / YIFY project by releasing new movies daily (720p, 1080p and 3D) at the same quality and size like the previous YIFY team. The audio on our new releases is improved (now encoding to 128kbps comparing to 96kbps on old ones), plus we can safely say that even the video is a bit better.

An answer to all the negative allegations made to our team: YES, YTS.AG is the closest thing that anybody can get to being the REAL website for new the YIFY group releases. Unfortunately, classic YIFY releases are no more, and yts.to is gone as well. Yet, we are continuing where YIFY left off so you can also find on YTS.AG all the movies/torrents published by the classic YIFY releases. The quality and size of the movies are preserved, only the people behind the project have changed. For now, we are still using YIFY as the name of our new release group, but we may change this in the future.

We can guarantee you 100% that it is safe to download both previous YIFY releases and new releases from YTS.AG. The torrents are malware-free and the website has no ads at all.

We have no intention of collecting the users personal information at all for any purpose. In that spirit, Registration is turned off for a limited time for the purpose of building trust. Feel free to download at your hearts content. Give us a try, and decide for yourself.
