Why would anyone choose a YTS Series torrent over a high-quality release from groups like NTb, CMG, or KOGi?
Because the files are so small, they are easier to seed. This results in a massive number of "seeders" (people sharing the file), ensuring that downloads remain fast and healthy even for older movies. As technology evolved, YTS adapted
To understand "YTS Series," you first need to understand YTS itself.
Founded in 2010 by a coder known as "Yify," YTS (short for YIFY Torrents) revolutionized movie piracy. Before YTS, Blu-ray rips were often 10GB to 50GB in size. Yify introduced a proprietary encoding method that compressed a 1080p movie down to 800MB to 1.5GB without, to the average eye, destroying the visual fidelity. However, YTS always had a blind spot: TV Series
Key milestones:
However, YTS always had a blind spot: TV Series. Historically, YTS focused exclusively on theatrical movies. This created a gap in the market, leading to the unofficial tag "YTS Series" used by uploaders to denote TV shows encoded with the same philosophy—small file size, decent quality.
Here is the nuance. The original YIFY group rarely touched episodic content. TV shows have variable bitrates, intro/outro padding, and multi-episode seasons that volume. encoding a 10-episode season at YTS’s "tiny file size" philosophy often resulted in pixelation artifacts during high-motion scenes (explosions, sports, nature documentaries).
Today, the answer is yes. Most modern YTS proxy sites and clones host a dedicated "TV Shows" or "YTS Series" category. However, these are not usually encoded by a singular "YTS team." Instead, webmasters scrape content from other small-file-size groups (like ETRG, TGx, or PSA) and relabel them under the YTS banner.
