Translated to English via Kagi Translate

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.
