Frequently Asked Questions About YTS / YIFY

YTS, originally known as YIFY, is one of the best-known movie torrent brands. It became popular for releasing high-quality movies in remarkably small file sizes, so they download quickly even on slower connections. On YTS.VG you will find thousands of titles in 720p, 1080p and 4K, all encoded with efficient compression that keeps picture and sound quality high.

Yes. YTS.VG is the current official home of YTS / YIFY movies and continues the work of the original YTS torrent website. You get the same familiar catalogue, the same compact high-quality releases and regular new uploads, now served from faster infrastructure. Bookmark YTS.VG so you always land on the genuine site.

No. Every movie on YTS.VG is completely free. There are no subscriptions, hidden fees or premium tiers for browsing our movie collection or downloading torrent files and magnet links. An optional free account only lets you comment on movies and take part in the community.

Find a movie by browsing or searching, open its page and pick the quality you want (720p, 1080p or 4K). Click the torrent download button or the magnet icon, and the file opens in your torrent client, which handles the rest. If you don't have a client yet, qBittorrent is free and ad-free, and uTorrent is another popular choice.

Most movies come in 720p (HD), 1080p (Full HD) and, where available, 4K (Ultra HD), and many also offer x265 or BluRay/WEB versions. 720p is ideal for phones, laptops and slower connections, 1080p looks great on most TVs and monitors, and 4K is best for large screens and fast internet. Every release is carefully compressed to keep file sizes small without visible quality loss.

It depends on where you live. Copyright and torrenting laws differ from country to country, and in some places downloading copyrighted material without permission is illegal. Please check the rules in your country before downloading. We encourage everyone to respect intellectual property and to support filmmakers by watching movies through official cinemas and streaming services whenever possible.

The catalogue is updated every day. New releases usually appear within hours or a few days of becoming available in good quality, and older titles are added and upgraded regularly too. Check the Latest YIFY Movies section on the homepage or the Trending page to see what's new and what other visitors are downloading right now.

Start by checking your internet connection and making sure your torrent client is up to date. If the torrent stays stuck, try the magnet link instead of the .torrent file (or the other way round), or choose a different quality of the same movie, which may have more seeders. Older or less popular titles can have fewer peers, so give the download a little time before giving up.

Seeders are people who have the complete file and are sharing it. Leechers (or peers) are still downloading and share the parts they already have. The more seeders a torrent has, the faster and more reliable your download will be, so for the best speed pick the quality with the highest seeder count. Once your download finishes, keeping it seeding for a while helps other users.

A magnet link is a short link that contains the unique hash of a torrent instead of the file itself. When you click it, your torrent client fetches the movie details from the network and connects directly to seeders, so you don't need to save a .torrent file first. Just click the magnet icon on any YTS movie page and confirm in your client.

YTS encoders use modern, efficient codecs and carefully tuned bitrates, which keeps most 1080p movies around 1-2 GB and 720p versions under 1 GB. You get great picture quality for everyday viewing while saving bandwidth and disk space. Very fast action scenes may show slightly more compression than calm scenes, but on most screens the difference is hard to notice.

A VPN is not required, but it is strongly recommended. It encrypts your traffic and hides your real IP address from other peers and from your internet provider, and it can help you reach YTS.VG if your ISP blocks it. Keep in mind that a VPN protects your privacy but doesn't change the legal status of what you download.

Many YTS movie pages include subtitle options in several languages. You can also download .srt files from popular subtitle websites; just choose a version that matches your release (for example 1080p BluRay). To use one, put the .srt file in the same folder as the movie with the same file name, or load it from your media player's subtitle menu.

Some internet providers block torrent sites. You can try a trusted YTS proxy or mirror, switch to a different DNS server (for example 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8) or use a VPN. Be careful with copycat sites that use the YTS name: if a site pushes extra pop-ups, asks you to install software or wants payment, it is not genuine.

Genuine YTS releases are plain video files with a .mp4 or .mkv extension and sensible sizes (roughly 700 MB-2 GB for HD). Avoid torrents that contain .exe files, installers, password-protected archives or "codec packs", and be suspicious of unusually tiny or huge files. Reading user comments and checking the seeder count are also good ways to spot a bad download before you open it.

VLC is free, runs on almost every device and plays nearly any format, with easy subtitle and audio-track switching. MPV is a lightweight alternative that uses fewer resources and handles 4K and x265 files smoothly. On smart TVs and streaming boxes, apps such as Kodi or Plex work well too.

Slow downloads are usually caused by a low number of seeders, ISP throttling or client settings. Choose the quality with the most seeders, make sure DHT, PEX and local peer discovery are enabled, and don't limit your upload speed too much, because peers share faster with users who also upload. If your provider throttles torrent traffic, a VPN can often restore full speed.
