However, as movie download is not allowed in many countries, the site suggests you to use s VPN to do it. Besides, the random redirects are quite annoying. The original website was shut down in 2015 due to legal and copyright issues. There were many mirrors, proxies, and clone sites like yts.rs, yts.mx. Just select the one that provide the move source you'd like to download on Macbook. It's hard to tell which YTS mirrors and proxies are tricky websites.

The official site is shut down, and the proxy and mirror sites already included many free movies. Many of them are clean but some are designed to spread adware or even malware.

Part 3. How to Download Movies on Mac with BitTorrent for Mac
BitTorrent I mentioned here means a BitTorrent client. Thanks to simple interface, BitTorrent for Mac is not difficult to get hang of it for novice users. It gives you access to numerous movie video files. The search box brings great convenience to find movie resources. My beef with this solution is that it downloads movies on Macbook to one folder but leaves a large number of torrent files on desktop. Sometimes, it takes half a day to save a full movie to a Mac, which is unacceptable.
How-to guide: find and download torrent files you want to your MacBook Pro/Air, or other best Mac computers for movie editing, open it on BitTorrent for Mac, and the client will do the left task. Note that BitTorrent Classic, the original desktop torrent client for Mac, is not compatible with macOS 10.15 Catalina and above.
Note: The downloads can be a bit slow and unstable. Most movies on MacBook you save from the sites are formatted MKV video format. They recommend VLC media player to watch these MKV movies on Mac, but the fact is VLC won't play MKV HD/4K movies on MacBook. To solve this, you need to convert the MKV movies to MP4 or other widely accepted video formats with the movie downloader for Mac, MacX Video Converter Pro, also a stunning video converter mentioned before. You don't need to sacrifice any video quality during the MKV movie conversion process.
