Now it is official!
The popular torrent release group YIFY and its official YTS website have shut down permanently.
The unexpected shutdown marks the end of an era that started at the turn of the decade.
The beginning of the end came with a DDoS attack on the website around 10 days ago.
Torrent Freak, citing inside sources says that YTS and YIFY will never return.
Though the operator of YTS/YIFY did not issue any comment.
YIFY first arrived on the torrent scene in 2010 with its unique quality prints and releases.
The group has shared over 6,000 releases up to date.
YIFY releases were consistently among the most-pirated movies, week after week.
In aninterview in 2013, YIFY attributed this popularity to the presentation and consistency of its releases.
I believe this is important because people like stability and assurance with what they are downloading.
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.
These should not be trusted and are trying to profit from the confusion.
