YIFY Movies, also known as YTS, was a popular peer-to-peer release group that distributed movies online. They were known for their high-quality, small-sized movie files, making them attractive to users with limited bandwidth or storage.
Distribution: YIFY primarily used the BitTorrent protocol for distributing their releases. This involved uploading movie files to torrent trackers, allowing users to download them using BitTorrent clients. You can learn more about BitTorrent here.
Encoding: YIFY specialized in encoding movies in the H.264 and later the H.265 (HEVC) codecs. The goal was to achieve a good balance between video quality and file size. Learn more about H.264 and H.265
Popularity: YIFY releases were immensely popular due to their accessibility and consistent quality, despite the compressed file sizes. This popularity made them a significant player in online movie distribution.
Shutdown: YIFY was shut down in 2015 following legal action by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). The operator, Yiftach Swery, reached a settlement with the MPAA.
Imitation Sites: Due to YIFY's popularity, numerous imitation sites emerged after its shutdown, attempting to capitalize on the brand recognition. These sites often distributed malware or contained low-quality content. Be aware of the risks associated with downloading from unofficial sources. You can learn more about malware
Legality: Distributing and downloading copyrighted movies through torrents, as YIFY did, is illegal in most jurisdictions.
