After several years of operation, we are shutting down all YGGtorrent / YGG services (website, tracker, and infrastructure). The relaunch we had initially planned is now abandoned, as we lack the necessary conditions to continue the project amidst repeated cyberattacks.

We apologize to the community and extend our warmest thanks to everyone who supported YGGtorrent / YGG with respect and kindness.

The individual responsible for the intrusion and data leak has been identified. The details can be viewed here.

No return is planned. Beware of sites or services presenting themselves as alternatives in the coming weeks: most of them are malicious. Stay vigilant.

Gr0lum shouldn't have revealed the IP addresses of YGG moderators and could have handled aspects of the leak better, but the YGG admin's rebuttal post is undermined by disgusting transphobia:

The rules of the competing tracker, set up by these same individuals, clearly show their true colors: anyone who doesn't buy into their woke ideological vision isn't welcome. "LGBTQI+ phobias" are placed on the same level as fascism or racism, and any "debate" on the subject is purely and simply forbidden. In other words, if you're not comfortable with the idea of dad putting on mom's wig, you're not welcome on their platform.

Such a strange thing to be upset about. Dads are supposed to be upsetting. How does a wig change anything? Now put on some fucking pants, I have friends coming over!
