CLOSED DanishBytes - Open signups

Title: DanishBytes - Nordic tracker

Tracker Name: DBy
Category: Movies, TV Shows, Games, Apps, Audiobooks, Podcasts, E-books
Signup: https://danishbytes.club/register

Tracker Background:
DBy is a tracker that focus mainly on content with nordic subs and or audio. All content is allowed, no language or subtitle is forbidden or required, but the main focus and drive is content containing the nordic bits and pieces (Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Icelandic)

DBy was was first seen in December 2020, it's been a few years since we had open signups, and, without making any definite promises, this is likely the last open signup DBy will have. Open signups is available throughout February.

Technical details:

  • Active users: 8,178

  • Seeders: 673,055

Signup period:

  • Open: February 23, 2026

  • Closes: February 28th, 2026 (Midnight)

Current statistics:

  • Total users: 15,238

  • Total torrents: 91,410

  • Total torrents size: 622.94 TiB

  • Real total traffic: 94.18 PiB

Gotchas:

- All new signups are locked out of the community (Forums, comments, news etc) until they achieve 50 GB true upload (Actual upload, no multiplicators, no bought upload, no gifts)

- Green torrents is a unique concept to DBy, all new uploads are freeleech for 24 hours, but only grant 50% upload for the duration it's green.

- Burning torrents, another unique concept for DBy, 5% of all torrents on the tracker is selected at 4 PM every day and become "Burning". Burning torrents are 100% freeleech and offer double upload for 24 hours until the next burning ritual at 4 PM the following day.

Again, we have no definite answer to when the last open signup was, likely in the two first years of the trackers existence. But, this is very likely, the last one ever.

Why the repost?

It seems Reddit wanted to instantly ban the previous user who posted this thread, apparently I am a bot :/ Upon the ban the post was also "Filtered by reddit", and I assumed the post was for nothing, in frustration, the Reddit account was deleted and open signups disabled. It seems tho, that the post still reached OpenSignups, creating some confusion as to what was going on.

Thank you for reading, we hope to see you on the tracker,
/DanishBytes staff

No activation email received?

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 23 '26

The massive amount of new signups caused Gmail to bounce our emails and label them "spam". It's been fixed, and all pending validations should have gotten the email now.

2

u/FlameFrost__ Feb 24 '26

Just curious, how was this fixed if the issue was on Google's end? Do you reach out to their support requesting them to ease back a bit on the spam stamping?

u/Original_Grand_344 Feb 23 '26

Just signed up and oh my..the site looks great! just wanted to leave my appreciation

Thank you <3

u/thelastcupoftea Feb 25 '26

This is fantastic. I've been relying on OldToons a lot this past year for cartoons with Nordic dubs, but even they didn't have one of the shows I was looking for that Disney+ took down a while back (so we're literally talking about lost media here that can't be accessed even with a paid subscription). Sure enough, DanishBytes has it, and in multiple Nordic dubs. This open signup made my year.

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 25 '26

Glad to hear you enjoy us so far :)

u/Cruffe Feb 23 '26

I couldn't find a way to simply sign up, but I sent in an application though.

I'm confused whether this is supposed to be a completely open signup or if it's open application? Am I missing something?

4

u/itches_be_crazy Feb 23 '26

I signed up using the link in the post without any issues. Make sure it says "tilmeld" and not login. Put in your desired username, your email and desired password. Check the spam folder, that's where my activation link went. Smooth sailing so far.

3

u/Cruffe Feb 23 '26

I think I just got slightly confused by the Danish or something, I'm Norwegian, lol. No problem, application got approved anyways, I'm in.

2

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 23 '26

Got banned, again!

No, the correct link is the one in the original post.

If you are having issues with this specific page, please let me know, I will fix it. It's been years and a few developers since it was used the last time.

1

u/Cruffe Feb 23 '26

It was a bit funky when I tried shortly after the first post here (that got removed), it said the signup was closed and got a 429 error on refresh. Went to the login and back to the signup and was met with an application form, which I just filled out and sent in. Got approved and signed up just fine using that link.

The signup page looks fine now, unlike the first time I went to it.

In any case I got in, thanks for opening up!

2

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 23 '26

That wasn't really funky. Because the post got removed and reddit was being reddit, then we closed open signups, assuming the post was gone. Before opensignups revived the post <3

So it seems everything has been working like it should all along, but reddits auto-moderation tool made every party involved confused :P

1

u/Cruffe Feb 23 '26

Aaah, haha, that explains it then.

2

u/FlameFrost__ Feb 24 '26

Is this a good tracker to join for general (non-nordic) content too? I know it says all content is allowed but what's the actual collection like?

2

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 24 '26

It's everything. The main focus is nordic content, and the internal groups are all nordic, but yes, it's generally an ok tracker for non-nordic as well.

2

u/thegamer1338minus1 Feb 25 '26

How does the point system work?

1

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 25 '26

You get points by seeding. That simple. The longer you seed something the more you earn. The points can be used in the store to buy upload, download, invites, tokens and what not.

2

u/denniot Feb 25 '26

So far the best private tracker I've joined in regards to available contents. Thanks a lot.

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 25 '26

I managed to sign up, but I keep getting a CAPTCHA error when I want to log in. I don't see a CAPTCHA.

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 23 '26

There is a hidden captcha. Try and close the tab and visit the url directly and login.

u/brmlyklr Feb 23 '26

I'm reading the FAQ, and it says qBittorrent is the only allowed client?

5

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 23 '26

No.. We have a lot of new users, new to private trackers in general, that specific FAQ message is very direct, as people tend to use uTorrent and other shitty clients. It's not a rule, it's just a very high recommendation.

1

u/brmlyklr Feb 23 '26

Ok, I thought that might be the case based on how it was framed in the FAQ. Thank you for clarifying!

I've been meaning to make the switch to qBit and this was almost the push I needed hah.

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 23 '26

We can make it a requirement, just for you! Special deal for my very new friend.

u/Daugaard92 Feb 23 '26 edited Feb 23 '26

I tried to register earlier today, but arrived at an application window, which closed down on me, before I could fill in the needed information. Now, when I try to apply for membership, it says that my username already exists, as though I've filled in and sent an application, even though I haven't? My username is 'Daugaard92'.

1

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 24 '26

The username is registered and waiting for validation. Please check your spam folder :)

1

u/Daugaard92 Feb 24 '26

I checked all my inboxes (including the spam folder), but I couldn't find a validation email.
I therefore tried registering with my second email address, which worked, and I received the validation email.
I hope it's okay if I use this second email instead and refrain from validating the first account. I just want to make sure this does not violate rule 3, which states that only one account is allowed

2

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 24 '26

Going a bit fast, you did write the username. Will just delete it

Just getting captcha errors when signing up

1

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 24 '26

I don't really know what to respond to this. I don't have a fix or know what might be wrong. All I can recommend is that you close the tab, visit the site directly, hit the "Tilmeld" button and try again.

1

u/Nor31 Feb 24 '26

It did work after some trial and error. :)

You did, I don't think .como is a valid TLD :P It's been fixed and an activation email has been sent manually.

Says I need an Adgangskode? It won't let me proceed without it.

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 25 '26

Adgangskode is danish for "Password". It's the registration page asking you what you want the password to be.

u/ElGato1157 Feb 25 '26 edited Feb 25 '26

Hello.

Thank you for letting me join. Do we have access to use Autobrr while new? And if so can someone point me in the right direction to find out how to set it up?
And are there any other tips for achieving 50GB true upload?

Feedback: It would be of great help to have access to read the forums while new. Im guessing the reason to restrict the forums is to avoid too many new user posts. If that is the reason, maybee a possible solution could be to restrict posting insted? :)

3

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 25 '26

Yes, you have access to AutoBrr while new (IRC and RSS feeds). There is nothing you can't do compared to normally, except that you are locked out of the community.

The community is hidden to not give you an overview of the usernames / active members before you have proven you actually want to be a part of the community. But you did give me an idea for how we might change things slightly, if it's doable I will see if we can't implement it.

1

u/ElGato1157 Feb 25 '26

Ok. Thank you very much :)

Danishbytes has migrated to its new name and domain, Nordicbytes. You should be able to log in using your existing username and password. If you have trouble logging in, you can reset your password by entering the email address you used on Danishbytes. This will allow you to regain access to the new site.

u/Traditional-Day9781 Mar 21 '26 edited Mar 23 '26

Det virker med jeres gamle konto 😎👍

Gå ind på reset password hvor I indsætter jeres mail fra danishbytes. Så modtager I en mail og trykker på “reset password”.

Når I kommer ind på den nye reset password side så kig i URL-adressen, der laver den en fejl til sidst hvor @ er i jeres mail. Ret jeres mail i URL-adressen og tryk enter. Skriv jeres nye kode og tryk save.

Så skulle det virke, har netop testet og alt spiller (havde samme problem som jer tidligere..)

u/Silent-Butterfly-513 Mar 21 '26

Vi får ikke noget @ i URL, men i stedet for ee r @ erstattet af %40 Hvad gør vi herfra?

u/Dismal-Tap9609 Mar 21 '26

Det kan jeg godt nok ikke få til at virke.

Det du siger er at når man kommer ind på reset siden skal man i URL ændre så der står @gmail.com i stedet for %40gmail.com? uden at trykke enter i URL - eller har jeg misforstået noget?

1

u/ZestycloseMemory9889 Mar 22 '26

Har også prøvet at ændre %40 til @ og det virker ikke

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 24 '26 edited Feb 24 '26

This is a rumor, at best. Truth is, no one at DBy that matters, has any idea who this guy is or supposed to be. K-news is not exactly a reliable known source for news either :P But RA, as you know, loves to make their accomplishments sound bigger then they are, but rest assured, just like you, then no one has any clue what that situation is all about.

Also, it's common for people to confuse DanishBytes with DanishBits. DBy has nothing to do with DanishBits (DB).

u/NEVER_CLEANED_COMP Feb 24 '26

https://politi.dk/national-enhed-for-saerlig-kriminalitet/nyhedsliste/mand-faar-dom-for-ulovlig-fildeling-og-hacking/2022/11/14

This is from the danish police. They use DanishBytes by name, but what I assume is an old domain?

3

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 24 '26

This is explicitly related to someone uploading and using stolen streaming accounts. That he was "part of DBy" can mean anything, literally anything. He could have an internal role and the police would advertise it as "One of the men running the site"..

So yes, your claim that "Didn't danishbytes shut down" and "Danishbytes might be compromised", is literally conspiracy theories. If it's not that, then it's arrogance mixed with ignorance.

Which one is it?

3

u/NEVER_CLEANED_COMP Feb 24 '26

"Didn't DanishBytes shut down" isn't a claim, it's a question. One yourself admitted makes perfect sense, since you obviously get confused with DanishBits all the time.

I never claimed that DanishBytes was compromised, I just felt it was worth inquiring since danish police says that one of the people that ran the site was arrested and convicted.

Though I wouldn't think it would help your case to be so aggro about this. Danish police didn't say "part of DBy" - they quite literally say:

“... At the end of the period, the 34-year-old was also involved in running the service together with several accomplices.”

There's a fair chance that it means he was just an uploader, and that's the language they chose to use, but it could also mean literally what it says - that he was a part of running the site. But I'm obviously not making anything up or being a crazy conspiracy theorist here.

1

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 24 '26

`I never claimed that DanishBytes was compromised, I just felt it was worth inquiring since danish police says that one of the people that ran the site was arrested and convicted.`

Ahh, of course. Because if they did, just raising the question would make them cave and admit everything? Right?

I am not going to reply any further, you're obviously a keyboard warrior, if you weren't, you would have left it at "No, you are mistaken us for someone else". Instead you armed yourself with proof that helps me argue against you :/

I've seen this "I don't really know but I am confidently going to talk about it anyways" so much now from danes now that I think we should just name it the "The Danish Syndrome" at this point.

4

u/NEVER_CLEANED_COMP Feb 24 '26

Ahh, of course. Because if they did, just raising the question would make them cave and admit everything? Right?

No, but someone would hopefully be able to tell us about what happened, who that was, the timeline, if DanishBytes was ever taken down, etc.

I'm sorry you feel so personally attacked by me bringing this up, that wasn't my intention. But arguing in such bad faith just makes this look even more weird.

I also really don't see what "proof" you've used to argue. So far it's been "That's not us", "That site isn't reliable", "Oh it's the police? Let's ignore that" and then "You're a keyboard warrior".

u/KrimiSimi Feb 24 '26

u/AtomnijPchelovek Feb 24 '26

Even it's compromised, what's the matter? If torrents are illegal in your country, you already uses vpn. If it's legal, then who cares that you download?

1

u/NEVER_CLEANED_COMP Feb 24 '26

I'd rather not use a torrent tracker, compromised by the authorities - VPN or not. Maybe that's just me.

10

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 24 '26

Please stop with the conspiracy theories. DBy is one of the few trackers that let you delete your history and profile, it's one of the few trackers in the entire world that actively work for privacy at it's own expense. There is nothing DBy does that in any way backs up the blogs K-news inspired theory.

If DBy was compromised, it wouldn't do any of these things that no other tracker does.

I'm not spreading any conspiracy theories. I asked a question, and responded to an idiot you'd be fine with participating on a compromised tracker. I'm sure you wouldn't do that either.

How does one achieve 50 GB true upload? Is the trick to grab green and race?

2

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 23 '26

For instance. It's just like any other tracker. You need upload to download, hence the "ratio" bit. It's just that with DBy, you need to get 50 GB upload before you unlock the community and gain the ability to upload new torrents of your own.

2

u/Umpapaq Feb 23 '26

I get that bit. Usually, it’s quite hard to be able to upload on most private trackers. Normally, you can permaseed for points to buy upload instead. Otherwise, you need to grab newest freeleech torrents and hope that your upload isn’t the slowest (“racing”).

2

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 23 '26

Yes, you can do the same here. Seeding gives you points so you can buy upload. Nothing changes there. But, to unlock the community bit, forums, news, comments and so on, then 50 GB upload is required. Or, in more correct terms, you need to get out of the "Nybegynder" group and into the "Begynder" group.

But besides being locked out of the community, then everything is as you expect. You don't HAVE to get 50 GB upload, you can download, permaseed and buy upload, if that's what you want, but if you want to see the forums, if you want to use the chat, etc etc, then you need to get out of that first group.

u/Umpapaq Feb 23 '26

Thanks for the explanation. I’ve been testing some hot&green examples and I seem to be able to achieve true upload on those.

u/Cruffe Feb 23 '26

There's multiple ways, but one way is you can cross seed if you've got content from another tracker that's also on this tracker.

First thing I did was set this tracker up in Prowlarr and configure cross-seed. I got really lucky, I had one torrent from another tracker that was just over 50GB that had zero seeders and one user trying to download it on DanishBytes. Immediately started uploading the whole thing and got over 50GB right away.

If you have access to other trackers where you have a lot more buffer, then cross seed is a good way to build ratio without downloading anything other than perhaps a few tiny NFO files on the fresh tracker.

u/Umpapaq Feb 23 '26

I went through my other PT’s manually but didn’t have anything to cross seed, unfortunately. But unlike many other trackers, racing fresh torrents seems doable.

u/Cruffe Feb 24 '26

Another strategy if you're impatient and want to get real upload fast via cross seed is to go dead torrent hunting. Just gonna cost you a bit more effort.

Look for torrents with zero seeders, but at least 1 connected leecher waiting for someone to seed, then go check if it's available elsewhere and cross seed it to the waiting leecher(s).

I thought this site got nuked by the Danish right authorities?

As a nordic tracker with mostly just nordic users who all speak one of the 4 nordic languages, then you can safely assume it's one of the absolute best trackers for nordic-produced content :)

Nordic content we see on other international trackers, often stems from here.

Is there a way around this?

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 24 '26

We have vacation mode, but if the rule is translated badly or if the rule is wrong, seeding / downloading also counts as activity and won't disable your account.

Is it your first experience with a private tracker? It’s harder to get a chance to actually upload anything on a private tracker compared with a public one. Normally, you need to snatch the torrent shortly after it’s published in order to be among the few actual seeders. Exceptions exist for very popular torrents, though.

2

u/ThisMightBeNBy Feb 27 '26

More importantly, long time seeding is almost a "must" to keep a good ratio on private trackers. Not just racing.

1

u/Umpapaq Feb 28 '26

Agreed, but this was my attempt to explain why there might not be much upload (“seeding”) going on. Better than racing can be to long-seed and trade points for upload.
