    Several movie companies are trying to shut down the largest torrent site on the Internet through the Hawaiian federal court. The filmmakers accuse the persons behind YTS.am and yifymovies.is of inducing massive copyright infringement. Two users of the sites were initially targeted as well, but these have resolved their cases.

    With millions of visitors, YTS.am is the most visited torrent site on the Internet, beating even the legendary Pirate Bay.

    The site ‘unofficially’ took over the YTS brand when the original group threw the towel in 2015. It is one of the many sites out there today that keep the YTS and the related YIFY brands alive and well.

    The popularity of these sites is a thorn in the side of filmmakers and a select group of them is now taking action through a complaint filed at a federal court in Hawaii.

    YTS and YIFY pale in comparison to another site (and not the overrated TPB, who have been lacking in quality contributors for years,) who have remained untouched due to smart maneuvering. Mainly series and movies, they have the largest and most stable seed count, plus I've never once been tagged by my ISP for kyping anything from their site, even without a VPN. Dig around, you'll find it. :yes:

    Well, YIFY/YTS is a group that only releases movies. The thing is they were so successful they created their own tracker. 1337 and galaxy are the ones I use for movies/shows and sometimes software. Anime-> nyaa
    Everything else ->rutracker

    PS. Just in case I'm slaughtering some forum rules... @No Avenger , @Olymoon give me your blessing please... or do something...:rofl::rofl:
