Popular torrent release group YIFY has shut down permanently

Pretty old news, I was wondering why there was no discussion on TDF, so created this thread.

PS: I have PM'd the mods, its safe to create this thread.

On a related note. Stay away from eztv. It was hacked. It is being run by people who took the site over and locked the owner out. They also redirect to a site claiming to be yify.. that is fake too.

Popular TV-torrent distribution group EZTV is no more. After losing key domain names and data in a hostile takeover, EZTV founder NovaKing has called it quits. The group's retirement marks the end of an era in which the EZTV brand became synonymous with TV-torrents.

EZTV was just a hosting site. Very convenient.. and it will be missed.. but all the torrents are easily available on kickass or any other torrent site.
Its easy to get it if you know what you want..
Discovery will be a lot harder though.

I'm staying away from eztv though.

Will we miss gr8 Rips from YIFY :-(

ooh YIFY is also down...sad to know

Yeah, 1080p and 720p rips were the smallest size, for people with low bandwidth..

Yeah they are smallest but playback is not as smooth as x264 in mobile devices.

I have audio lag on my redmi note 4g,moto g and blu win hd lte when playing x265 720p videos on mx player as well as the stock player the phones mentioned above came with . Switched back to x264 480p or 720p .

Well my Xperia Z plays x265 1080p with ease on CM 12.1

And most devices with cm 12.1 have the ability to play hevc with he decoder in MX

That's not them. Someone just using their name.
Same people who took over EZTV.

I'd stay away from both

But the general public would never know the difference! Like I was using that all this time!! :shock:

AFAIK old stable torrents are alive and downloadable, but there will be no new rips.

Only one rip....

RIP yify though

Those who are looking for yify substitutes should check out shaanig rips. Alternatively you can also look for utr rips if you're okay with 10 bit x265 hevc encodes.
