YggTorrent Website Lost Control Over Its Main Domain

France's largest French-language torrent site YggTorrent has lost control over its main domain. According to the site's operators, the main domain was suspended by the domain registrar without providing additional information. The disruption is likely to affect millions of visitors. The site is promoting a Sweden-based alternative to the main site. It still maintains control over a separate domain for its tracker, which means torrent sharing can continue for users even if the site is down. In 2018, the site was forced to abandon its.com domain following a complaint from French anti-piracy outfit SACEM.
