The YTS torrent site was the creation of a notorious movie uploader who goes by the alias of YIFY. There is some mystery regarding the founder’s true identity, but the acronym YTS supposedly stands for YIFY Torrents Solutions. What started as an exercise to upload movies for friends soon became something more and thousands of users accessed the site regularly to download the latest Hollywood releases.
The originator shut down the site in 2015 amid investigations into his identity. Large lawsuits were threatened in attempts to stop the pirating of copyrighted media files. Today there are sites which use the YTS brand and may or may not be legitimate descendants of the original site.

Why is YTS Blocked?
A simple answer is that the site is blocked to conform to the copyright laws that exist in the country from which you are attempting to gain access. Your ISP is liable to have a long list of forbidden sites and YTS is one of them. Some locales take copyright infringement more seriously than others and if you live in one of them, you cannot directly access the site.
Even if you are not geo-blocked, your ISP may not want to provide you with the bandwidth necessary to successfully download content. They may block your connection or throttle your download speed in an attempt to discourage your use of the website.
How Can I Get to a Blocked YTS Site?
There are mirror and proxy sites for YTS which can be found with a simple Google search. These might not be blocked by your ISP. The mirror site should have the same content as the original site. It is just located on a different server.
A VPN might be the best choice when trying to get around an ISP blockade. Using VPN software enables you to connect to the torrent site from a server located in a country that does not impose copyright laws. It also hides your IP address so you can torrent in anonymity and not be concerned about your online activities being tracked.
