\"YTS\"With millions of regular users, YTS is arguably the most visited<\/a> torrent site on the internet today.<\/p>\n

The current operators \u2018unofficially\u2019 took over the YTS brand in 2015 after the original group threw in the towel. Since then, it has amassed a rather impressive user base.<\/p>\n

After adopting one of the most iconic piracy brands, YTS faced its fair share of legal troubles. In 2019, the popular torrent site and its operator were accused of mass copyright infringement in multiple lawsuits filed by filmmakers in the United States. Surprisingly, YTS managed to settle<\/a> these lawsuits to live another day, although that came at a price<\/a>. <\/p>\n

YTS also dealt with various domain name challenges. When the site first entered the scene, it was operating from the YTS.ag domain name, which it traded in for YTS.am a few years later. In 2019, the torrent site moved to YTS.lt, which it swapped for the YTS.mx domain in 2020.<\/p>\n

YTS.mx = Gone<\/h2>\n

Over the past five years, the Mexican ccTLD proved to be a rather stable domain option, but that didn\u2019t last.<\/p>\n

Visitors to YTS yesterday became aware that the YTS.mx domain had stopped resolving. Many simply assumed that the site had issues due to the global Cloudflare outage but hours after Cloudflare\u2019s troubles had been resolved, YTS.mx remained unreachable. <\/p>\n

This was not a simple domain suspension either, as the domain\u2019s nameservers appear to have completely vanished. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

NXDOMAIN<\/em><\/center>

In fact, according to the Mexican domain name registry, YTS.mx no longer exists<\/a>. This is highly unusual since the domain was prepaid through 2028. Clearly, an external intervention forced the action. <\/p>\n

YTS Relocates to .LT<\/h2>\n

Initially, the YTS team remained quiet, but through various official communication channels, they eventually confirmed that something was up. While the operators don\u2019t explain what the problem was, they note that the site has relocated to YTS.lt. <\/p>\n

\u201cPlease use https:\/\/yts.lt (YTS.LT) for now to access our site. We\u2019re working on some updates, and this domain will be the best way to stay connected. Stay tuned for more info!,\u201d they note.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

YTS Update<\/em><\/center>

As we were writing this article, the official YTS Status site was also updated. All mentions of the .mx domain name have been removed in what appears to be more than a temporary update. <\/p>\n

Indeed, in an edited blog post<\/a> on YTS.lt, the team now confirms that YTS.MX is no longer used.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Legal Pressure?<\/h2>\n

While it is apparent that the .MX domain name issues are serious, it is not immediately clear what caused them. TorrentFreak asked Registry .MX<\/a> for a comment on the situation, but the organization did not immediately respond.<\/p>\n

It is possible that third-party pressure by copyright holders may have played a role here. Earlier this year, the U.S. Trade Representative identified YTS.mx<\/a> as a notorious piracy market. And a few weeks ago, YTS was nominated as a notorious market<\/a> again by various rightsholders. <\/p>\n

For now, all we know for sure is that YTS.mx is gone. If more information becomes available, we will update this article accordingly.<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> Registry .MX sent a brief response, suggesting that it is not the right party to approach with questions. Instead, they referred us to the domain registrar.<\/p>\n
