![Torrent scene group YIFY shuts down permanently](https://cdn.afterdawn.fi/v3/news/yify-yts-torrents.jpg)
YIFY has shared over 6000 movies since starting in 2010, and the films were popular due to the quality of the release and their encode size.
At the same time, Popcorn Time was backed primarily by YIFY releases and that service was already having its own issues before this latest news.
