The short answer is yes, but inconsistently.
The official YTS (yts.mx) and its affiliated API sites focus roughly 95% of their bandwidth on films. However, you will find packs labeled "YTS TV Shows" on various torrent aggregators (like 1337x, The Pirate Bay, or MagnetDL). These usually fall into three categories:
TorrentGalaxy has a "Galaxy" section dedicated to TV. While not as small as YTS, they offer consistent 720p/1080p rips with reasonable sizes. Many former YTS users have migrated here for TV content. Yts Tv Shows
If you search for "YTS TV Shows" and come up empty, do not despair. The TV world is served by other specialized groups.
Yes and no.
Important distinction: YTS is not designed for TV show enthusiasts. For current season episodes released weekly, other torrent groups (like EZTV, RARBG’s legacy archive, or TGx) are far more reliable.
When you download a TV show labeled as "YTS" (or using similar encoding), here is the typical size range: The short answer is yes, but inconsistently
| Resolution | Episode Length | Approx. File Size | Quality Expectation | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 480p | 20 min (Sitcom) | 80 – 120 MB | Watchable on phones; grainy on monitors. | | 720p | 45 min (Drama) | 200 – 350 MB | Good for tablets. Visible banding in skies. | | 1080p | 60 min (HBO Style) | 450 – 800 MB | Excellent for casual viewing; minor artifacts. | | 2160p (4K) | 45 min | 1.5 – 2.5 GB | Rare; often not worth it due to over-compression. |
Important note: YTS style is not for archiving or home theater projectors. It is for data-capped internet users, large Plex libraries on small hard drives, or mobile viewing. Important distinction: YTS is not designed for TV
Before we hunt for TV shows, it is crucial to understand the YTS formula. The release group perfected a specific encoding method (x264 and later x265/HEVC) that prioritized:
This formula works perfectly for a 2-hour movie. However, it struggles with TV shows. A single season of a drama might have 10–24 episodes. If YTS applied their movie logic to TV, a 20-episode season of Stranger Things would be compressed to death, resulting in terrible artifacting and blocky dark scenes.
