Most torrent sites see fluctuating presence online as they try to evade authorities. However, two of the top file-sharing sites, The Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents, are expected to see more traffic come their way even with fluctuating websites as more and more torrent sites close down shop..

Recently, it was reported that one of the quality movie-sharing sites online, YTS (also known as YIFY) has been offline for about a month after a series of issues forced the file torrent site to close down temporarily. Adding to internal concerns was a series of Dos attacks, as mentioned by industry follower Torrent Freak.

Those who are looking for quality movie torrents (which YIFY is known for) would have to look elsewhere for their movie files, as it is still unknown when YIFY will be back on its feet.

Meanwhile, there are also reports chronicling the official shutdown of Popcorn Time, another file-sharing site. According to TechWorm, Popcorn Time closed shop because of dev issues and internal struggles within the website's management.

With the torrent site closing down for good and a bleak future for YIFY, more torrent users are looking for their files using The Pirate Bay and Kickass Torrents. It is expected by industry followers that more traffic will be seen by these top two sites in the weeks to come.

However, although the sites have been standing strong, TPB and Kickass Torrents also have their share of troubles currently. The Pirate Bay keeps its unstable presence as authorities fight a legal battle to raid their servers and close TPB for good. Kickass Torrents, on the other hand, has been banned from some countries and some of ther servers have also been raided. In addition, the Kickass domain has been added to the Harmful Websites list by Google.
