Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[upbeat shuttle]

one of the devices could just not even have the potential to receive any jobs, but both of them are only getting the static beta pay anyways

[safe loom]

neither of us have gotten a job yet

[frigid reef]

again static beta pay

[safe loom]

again i know

i haven’t seen any of my friends get a job yet

not a question just a statement

[hollow vortex]

ive been waitin for a job.

[pseudo fog]

keep waiting

[hollow vortex]

ya thinK? lol

[pseudo fog]

yes]

[hollow vortex]

Oh ok , I didnt know that.

[subtle condor]

YAAAY MY BANDWIDTH SHARING IS BACK :D

[frigid reef]

about to bonk your wifi :3

[gleaming shell]

About to ddos

[subtle condor]

I will cutely kill your whole family is you do :3

[gleaming shell]

I will your

Bro

Samsung keyboard moment

[gleaming shell]

I will kill your router

[safe loom]

how tf dyno in here

@glacial fox

[modern panther]

to ban someone

[safe loom]

oh right

that answers how, thanks

[idle wing]

wtf

bandwidth sharing just decided to stop the moment I opened my laptop lid

[frigid reef]

Its in the new onboarding page

though personally i didnt get the onboarding page

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

[frigid reef]

time to clearly my salad stuff

[upbeat shuttle]

I'll check it out later

[kindred helm]

Honeygain content delivery

Maybe not

[upbeat shuttle]

or maybee
bandwidth sharing

[shrewd terrace]

What are the other settings

[frigid reef]

thats what im finding out,

hmm

[upbeat shuttle]

does it say what either of those actually means?

[frigid reef]

sadly for me it didnt

[upbeat shuttle]

for you?

[frigid reef]

im not sure if i was being dumb or not

anyway time to ping our new fav salad person

well not ping but ask it

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah do you wanna do it

I've not got much time atm

[frigid reef]

ye im already sending a message about the crypto mining when waiting for container to see how important that is

[upbeat shuttle]

oh they still haven't separated container workloads and mining workloads??

[frigid reef]

nope

[upbeat shuttle]

screaming

[frigid reef]

with cpu mining its fine as you can get set it to 1 thread and be out of there, but gpu is more annoying

[upbeat shuttle]

mmmm

just gonna clarify that you mean setting xmrig, not container, to 1 thread

before anyone misinterprets you again

[frigid reef]

i clearly say cpu mining if they dumb they dumb

[pulsar arrow]

wtf container 1 thread haxxx?!?!?! 😱 ❗ ❓

[frigid reef]

how to get banned on containers 101

[pulsar arrow]

true

[subtle condor]

Has anyone else just had a massive increase in earnings and amount of bandwidth shared in the last 6 hours?

[frigid reef]

could be due to people switching over to beta 3 loosing their spot in bandwidth

[subtle condor]

oh yea

Does beta3 have the new bandwidth sharing options

like the usage settings or whatever

[junior shoal]

yes

you can choose between two options, maximize earnings or essensial only

[chilly peak]

Essential only actually only just disables bandwidth sharing

[upbeat shuttle]

kinda pointless..

why would you want to disable it

[junior shoal]

ah

[upbeat shuttle]

that option honestly sounds like a waste of the devs' time to create

I suppose I've gotta add that to the troubleshooting guide since I doubt Salad will actually change it

[frigid reef]

dont worry about it, just leave it on max anyway as the other one just turns off bandwidth

does it work or not?

if its working its not that setting and just because you got send back of the job list on bandwidth due to stopping and starting again

due to updating

[frigid reef]

it dosent even hide bandwidth sharing option, just makes it not able to run

[upbeat shuttle]

...

that's even worse

i'm just gonna give up on thinking for today

[frigid reef]

hmm actually could be my ndm logs showing a rather lower speed then normal let me try again

let me see if it does nothing atm

[safe loom]

i don’t have it

[junior shoal]

its a setting in beta 3 setup

not actual salad

[frigid reef]

Dosent even work anyway

[safe loom]

h

wait what?

so is it a setting in beta3 or not cause you just said yes but then said no

[frigid reef]

It’s a setting in the beta 3 onboarding page, but when I tried it out I was still able to enable bandwidth sharing what it’s suppose to disable

[safe loom]

ah

i didn’t get that page

instead i get a broken gpuz

[frigid reef]

You don’t get that page unless your installing it onto a pc with no salad already on it

[safe loom]

ah

they need to remove the no disabling auto start

it still triggers while in vr

[upbeat shuttle]

eughh

[hybrid delta]

did you have to do a fresh install to get the new bandwidth menu?

[frigid reef]

just forget about it, its not important

[hybrid delta]

alr

[pulsar arrow]

how did you find the new bandwith menu

I don't have it in settings

yes I have the new beta installed

[near karma]

region?

[frigid reef]

Dont worry about it

as i said in the past as well its on the onboarding page, and all it does is enable or disable bandwidth from running (when it works)

so there is nothing you really need to do on it as i hope they auto choose max earnings

[pulsar arrow]

okay

[somber yew]

Yes, if the bandwidth sharing card is not visible in your performance tab in the widget it means bandwidth sharing is not yet available where you live. Your preference during installation/onboarding are saved though and when bandwidth sharing is available in your region those settings will be respected (and you'd be able to change them at any time).

[safe loom]

ivan

why does my sgs client not start on beta 3 but start perfectly fine on beta 2

[pseudo fog]

maybe settings

[hollow vortex]

i dont have these seettings and im on beta 3

the essentional's . etc ^

[hybrid delta]

starts for me fine tho you have to start and stop salad a few times

or leave it alone for a couple minutes for it to start

[gleaming shell]

Imagine
Mine never starts

[hybrid delta]

firewall, antivirus?

[upbeat shuttle]

okay i can't think of how to word that nicer so i'll just snap

[safe loom]

based

[near karma]

not even 0.0001

[frigid reef]

are you sure sgs-client is even running?

[near karma]

whats that

if its some other service its entirely possible my malwarebytes took action

its so annoying

how can i know if sgs client is running

[pulsar arrow]

task manager

[frigid reef]

look in task manger also its the process for bandwidth sharing

[near karma]

doesnt seem like it

[frigid reef]

then bandwidth sharing isnt running

[near karma]

how do i start the service

then

???

[pulsar arrow]

you are in one of the supported regions yes?

these ones

if you are, just enable bandwidth sharing in salad and wait a bit, we're not sure how long it would take, but if it doesn't start earning a few hours later, restart salad and try again

if nothing happens even after that, read the pins

might help

[frigid reef]

thats the thing, its already enabled

[pulsar arrow]

ah then there's nothing else to do than wait ig

[near karma]

bru

[pulsar arrow]

if it doesn't work in a few hours try restarting

[frigid reef]

Try restarting your pc, it could be that the speed test was run when your network was being used heavily

[pulsar arrow]

that's what I usually do

^^

[frigid reef]

there are other methods to try

[pulsar arrow]

true but that's what works for me best

or read ndm logs

[near karma]

Worked

[frigid reef]

[near karma]

Nope.

I left it on for 8 hours…

Not a SINGLE

CENT

Biggest waste of time

Ever

[subtle condor]

Skill issue

[near karma]

WHAT DO I DO

TO FIX IT

SGS-CLIENT IS RUNNING

[subtle condor]

read the pins >:D

[near karma]

didnt work >:D

thats so annoying

this is defo not normal

like

my earnings have actually just turned to shit

now im getting no earnings

like there is something wrong for sure

9 HOURS

not a single job?

[upbeat shuttle]

what country?

[near karma]

UK

GB

[upbeat shuttle]

and sgs-client is indeed running, right?

also what speeds do you get

[near karma]

Yes.

500MBPS Download, 70 MBPS Upload

[frigid reef]

could have just been unlucky i went a couple days too without jobs once at higher speeds

[near karma]

COUPLE DAYS???

[near karma]

But what if it wasn't just unlucky

What could it be?

[frigid reef]

again its diffrent for everyone

[near karma]

understood

but what could it be

if it wasnt

theoretically

?

[true hemlock]

umm skill issue

lmao

[gleaming shell]

atleast theirs runs lol

[near karma]

?

there is defo something up

[gleaming shell]

your sgs client is running right?

[near karma]

with my bandwidth sharing

yes

for the last time

omfg

does it hate ethernet?

or what

[gleaming shell]

idk mine is also dead

for over 3 months

[gleaming shell]

i think it should work better on ethernet

[near karma]

yeah

i keep getting these good skins

but this fucking app wont work

im like

70 cents

away

from a gift card

there is no way im just unlucky

9 HOURS

i know that there is an issue

for sure

[steel wharf]

when's container coming to india?

[halcyon juniper]

prob never but i hope it comes

[pseudo fog]

Its in every region dude

[halcyon juniper]

not in india

[pseudo fog]

It is

Ima link ozua's msg

[halcyon juniper]

bro

its not there in india

[pseudo fog]

#chef-posting message

[halcyon juniper]

no option

[pseudo fog]

Go to settings

[halcyon juniper]

he prob meant bandwidth sharing or something

@steel wharf did u mean bandwidth sharing?

[pseudo fog]

no read the above messages

[halcyon juniper]

yeah yeah

[pseudo fog]

Containers arent region locked

[halcyon juniper]

i know that containers arent region locked

yeah

[pseudo fog]

Its in india too

[halcyon juniper]

yeah

but what about bandwidth sharing

[pseudo fog]

No

[halcyon juniper]

yep

any clue on when is it coming

[pseudo fog]

no

[halcyon juniper]

kk

[near karma]

I have had it on

For so long

The days before it was doing FINE

Making a dollar a day

maybe even 2

Im being told that im just unlucky but that's defo not the case

[safe loom]

you are just unlucky

[near karma]

I’m just worried that there actually is a problem but I’m overlooking it

And I just end up wasting my time and money

By hoping and waiting

[tulip jolt]

could be that there isnt enough jobs

i wouldnt tinker with it since it might break something

plus if sgs is running everything should be fine

[subtle condor]

lol 1:02am and it's already shared 20 GB lmaooo

[subtle condor]

0.06 spike damn

[idle wing]

Meanwhile it is being a pain in the ass to just trying to get it to start

US do be like this tho ;-;

[safe loom]

opera user

🤮

[subtle condor]

it's not opera, it's brave?

if your're talking out the bar colours, it's force darkmode which is causing it

[safe loom]

EVEN WORSE

[gleaming shell]

Damn

[subtle condor]

?

[safe loom]

brave of you to use brave

[neon blade]

..

[near karma]

What if there is a website that my Malwarebytes Browser Guard is blocking?

I remember that some website with an "ich" somewhere in the name constantly being blocked

[tulip jolt]

ohhh

yeah my Malwarebytes also blocked librespeed on startuo

but if youve whitelisted salad i dont think it should be a problem anyway

[pulsar arrow]

damn rip that graph looks unstable af

so is mine

but it barely dips below 0.01

[pulsar arrow]

use Microsoft defender and don't download sussy files

you'll be fine

[near karma]

no

[pulsar arrow]

ok then whitelist salad files as a whole

[peak terrace]

sometimes it is stable and other times it is all over the place

[idle wing]

mine is pretty stable

[tulip jolt]

[near karma]

WHO'S HOGGING ALL THE BANDWIDTH JOBS

I CANT GET A SINGLE ONE

PLEASE

[gleaming shell]

SAME

[upbeat shuttle]

L

[near karma]

bandwidth hogging good for nothing brat

B(

[hybrid delta]

same

[near karma]

AND THE THING IS

IT WASNT LIKE THIS

LIKE 3 DAYS SAGO

I WAS GETTING JOBS AS SOON AS I LAUNCHED

[hybrid delta]

same

[near karma]

DOES SOMEONE JUST HAVE 20 PCS

JUST SUCKING IT ALL UP

[frigid reef]

its still in beta, there is no garentee of getting a job

[near karma]

so once it is out of beta, u think it will be much easier to get a job?

[upbeat shuttle]

pfft

[near karma]

even more importantly, same rates???

[upbeat shuttle]

it's all about supply and demand

I'm not sure what bringing it out of beta would do to demand

also I'm not sure if Bandwidth Sharing is entirely in beta anymore

I think it's already 'fully released' to older regions like the US, UK, Germany (idk about scandanavia yet), but Australia's SGS-Client files say Beta, whereas ours don't

[near karma]

i mean

people seeing beta might think

"unreliable"

"testing"

[upbeat shuttle]

not necessarily :)

[near karma]

yes necessarily

[pulsar arrow]

I am

[near karma]

i can count the pixels

in that photo

[gleaming shell]

i can count each color for the pixels

the red green and blue that makes up a pixel

[pulsar arrow]

discord compression moment

[hybrid delta]

someone give me a job

[subtle condor]

me :3

[true hemlock]

I love brave

[safe loom]

quit talking

[peak terrace]

hi its me

[peak terrace]

i counted 2592000 pixels

[obsidian void]

Can I use bandwith sharing using VPN with USA IP

[upbeat shuttle]

vpns will not work, basically

and even if you manage to set up some proxy perfectly, the additional latency will be awful and below Salad's customers' standards

[true hemlock]

nah

you quit using chrome bruh

[tropic vortex]

what is considered a good ping

I'm getting around 20ms with ethernet.

[upbeat shuttle]

sounds mmm not bad

[tropic vortex]

I GOT BW SHARING WORKING

LET'S GO

[silver mulch]

why does my sgs not show up for bandwidth

[hybrid delta]

i had to start and stop salad a few times to get it to launch, try that maybe?

[hybrid delta]

9ms wireless

[silver mulch]

im getting 3ms

[silver mulch]

is it cuz i have to wait for a work load

[hybrid delta]

don't think so, it'll start looking for jobs once its running

how long have you waited for it to launch?

[silver mulch]

i just started it a few minutes ago

[hybrid delta]

and still nothing?

[silver mulch]

i cant find it

[hybrid delta]

try pausing salad in the menu and start it again

[silver mulch]

start right away?

[hybrid delta]

yeah

[silver mulch]

ok i did

[hybrid delta]

wait another few minutes and see what happens

[silver mulch]

ok

[hybrid delta]

anything?

[silver mulch]

dont know

[hybrid delta]

have you checked task manager?

[silver mulch]

no its hard to find inthere

[hybrid delta]

try searching a bit more

it should look like this

[silver mulch]

i dont even see the bandwidth folder in salad program data

[hybrid delta]

huh

are you trying to start the program manually?

[silver mulch]

no

[hybrid delta]

why are you searching though the folders for it then?

you shouldn't have to do that

[silver mulch]

to see if i need to allow it thru fire wall

[hybrid delta]

ahhhhhhhhh ok

firewall could be the problem then

[silver mulch]

i dont think so

i may need to let it run cause there may be a que

[hybrid delta]

try that

i have the directory where sgs-client is stored if you want to try and allow it though firewall

[pseudo fog]

When is bandheight sharing coming to India?

[upbeat shuttle]

when you stop asking

[pseudo fog]

plz i ned idia bedwid

[frigid reef]

sure stop asking

salad will bring it to you within a year or couple

[pseudo fog]

I dont live in india so

You meant 91 years?

[frigid reef]

92

[pseudo fog]

[silver mulch]

i dont see my sgs how long can it take to apear

[upbeat shuttle]

have you, perchance, read the pinned Troubleshooting Guide and pinned FAQs?

if so, read them again

all of our knowledge is held there.

[gleaming shell]

BRUH HOW

[silver mulch]

@tropic vortex how tell me

[silver mulch]

what program is that that shows apps

[subtle condor]

It's a VPN whitelist 🗿

[silver mulch]

where can i get it

[chilly peak]

you don't get it, it's just part of the vpn program they're using

so it doesnt use the vpn for salad

[silver mulch]

oh and do i have to wait for a workload to comeup for me inorder to sgs

[chilly peak]

i don't remember how bw sharing works actually so idk if it has to be running to get a workload

[cunning sinew]

im on a boot camped mac and brandwidth sharing wont work (i worked before but apple reset my computer)

[silver mulch]

how do u check traffic

[cunning sinew]

nzxt cam

you can also use task manager

[silver mulch]

so do u know if u neeed a work load for sgs to start working

[cunning sinew]

idk

[upbeat shuttle]

uhh

[peak terrace]

it is the windscribe app whitelist

brandwidth sharing

[upbeat shuttle]

If Salad is in need of a node in your country, and your PC meets - or more likely exceeds their minimum requirements, sgs-client will start.
Then after that, supply and demand of bandwidth on the network will determine if you get (m)any jobs.

• is how I understand this so far

[silver mulch]

how long can it take

[cunning sinew]

can someone help please

[upbeat shuttle]

It depends on the supply and demand of the network. If Salad needs more bandwidth, it'll start sgs-client on more PCs.

• again, how I've understood this so far

[peak terrace]

took me a month once

[silver mulch]

will my ip score affect it or no just speeds

[peak terrace]

you need to have a good quality residential IP

if you have a bad quality then it likely won't work

[silver mulch]

how can i fix it

[peak terrace]

check if your ip is good quality

https://www.ipqualityscore.com/ip-reputation-check

[silver mulch]

89 high risk

[peak terrace]

[silver mulch]

how do i fix it

[peak terrace]

turn your router off for 30 mins and turn it back on again

this will give you a renewed IP address

[silver mulch]

can i just unplug my pc

[peak terrace]

then you can check if that is good quality

no

your router will still be connected to the internet

and will use a bad quality IP address leased from a pool of available addresses

you have to turn off your modem for the lease to end and for it to get a new address from the pool

[upbeat shuttle]

i am going to scream

[peak terrace]

scream into a pillow case

it will do nothing and we will all hear you

[upbeat shuttle]

I will scream at 160 decibels directly into your left ear

[peak terrace]

phased array of screaming ozuas beamforming agony into the general public

[silver mulch]

oh and that normally fixes

[cunning sinew]

can someone help me

[peak terrace]

can you open salad logs

[silver mulch]

my ip is no longer high risk its 0

[peak terrace]

good

[peak terrace]

then open ndm folder

open the latest file in notepad and if the upload is less than 10mbps for UK or 5mbps for US then it won't work

[silver mulch]

@peak terrace

[upbeat shuttle]

4k UHD

[peak terrace]

yes

that is good

[tulip jolt]

W

[pulsar arrow]

damn

[steady crown]

how do u get bw working

[cunning sinew]

@peak terrace

[steady crown]

i prob could get a lotta info from that

[cunning sinew]

like?

i doxxed my self before

i have nothing to hide

[frigid reef]

their desktop username

nice

thats it

[peak terrace]

I'm talking specifically about the NDM logs not the main salad one

Don't send them btw

they contain IP addresses

[frigid reef]

^^^^

[cunning sinew]

what do you need from it

[peak terrace]

just the last line of the latest librespeed-cli NDM log

it says the upload speed it has measured

[cunning sinew]

i removed ip

[peak terrace]

your upload speed is fine

it should work

[steady crown]

dam

[pulsar arrow]

I don't have a lot of issues rn, I just start salad and run it 24/7

[steady crown]

so

the longer u run the more u earn?

[pulsar arrow]

no

[cunning sinew]

im not gaining anything tho

[steady crown]

just enable?

[pulsar arrow]

when you do more 'jobs' you get paid

and the more you do

[cunning sinew]

its been this for a while

[pulsar arrow]

the more you geg

get

[steady crown]

wdym do more jobs?

[pulsar arrow]

yeah, that's whats worked for me so far

[pulsar arrow]

I mean ur running bandwith to serve companies, they give ur network stuff to do and when u complete it that's when u get paid right

that's what I meant

[steady crown]

ight man ty for the info

[pulsar arrow]

welcome

read the faq for like basic troubleshooting, might help might not

[steady crown]

@pulsar arrow one more question

should i enable my gpu?

[pulsar arrow]

for bandwidth, no

but for traditional crypto mining, yes, but I doubt you'll make a profit

they're releasing GPU container jobs soon and that might give you some earnings

[silver mulch]

so i should leave it enabled even tho its not earning its casue there is no jobs

[pulsar arrow]

not sure bud

[steady crown]

so just cpu and bw only?

[pulsar arrow]

yes

[steady crown]

ight respect

[pulsar arrow]

if bandwith doesn't work, what I'd usually do is restart my pc

bcus sometimes salad might not test your internet appropriately

and if your internet connection is not up to the min requirements, you won't get a job

restarting reruns the speed test

[steady crown]

whats the min requirements?

[pulsar arrow]

Download and upload should be above 15-20mbps minimum

it varies with region

but for the UK those are the requirements

[steady crown]

my wifi is pretty good but i bearly goin over 10mbps

[pulsar arrow]

yeah that might mean your internet connection is not up to the min requirements

u won't get the jobs regardless with that speed

[upbeat shuttle]

the minimum is 5-10, not 15-20.

[pulsar arrow]

isn't that just for the US

[steady crown]

for uk

[upbeat shuttle]

The minimum for the US, last I heard, was 5

10 for other places

[steady crown]

was planning on making one of my bros in the uk run it fo me

[pulsar arrow]

You could, with their permission

but if they're the sort to turn off their computer when theyre done, with the current state of bandwidth you'd be spending more time getting it to work than earn

[silver mulch]

How do u know if it test your internet

[pulsar arrow]

A process called librespeed runs, which you can check with task manager

[gleaming shell]

what is the maximim ping allowed

[upbeat shuttle]

[gleaming shell]

bc it could be why my bandwidth sharing is dead

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd say 150ms maybe

though hm

this may be a bit different

[gleaming shell]

bc my speed is good enough but my ping is 50ms and i feel like its a bit high

[upbeat shuttle]

this 'Time To First Byte' includes these additional steps to/from the client and Salad's servers.. so maybe the latency on our end would be max 100ms

the lower, the better for sure

[tropic vortex]

uk tho

[hollow vortex]

would that be being idle or while being under stress?

[upbeat shuttle]

?

[modern panther]

?

[safe loom]

i sssume until it reaches sgs, that’s customer side

then after sgs is when you get a bandwidth job

[hollow vortex]

Meaning , anytime you use bandwidth , your ping goes up under stress. The better connection you have the less stress (better ping under usage will be ). Such as I download at 900mbps my ping is normally 25 ish idle I during the 900 Mbps it jumps to about 70-80ms

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

well it gets that ping info from the speed test, so it depends if that speed test gets its ping info while running the bandwidth test, or separately

[pulsar arrow]

it does a ping test at the beginning of the test I guess

[pulsar arrow]

bandwidth doing wonders ong

[hybrid delta]

im in the uk and im getting nothin

[idle wing]

"nothing"

[hybrid delta]

those big spikes was when bandwidth sharing was working

haven't got it working for like 2 days

[pulsar arrow]

prob why I'm getting so much earnings

lots of people can't get it working

[hybrid delta]

turn it off

[subtle condor]

We're just better :)

[frigid reef]

9th in a month?

[subtle condor]

Month and a half

I think anyway

[frigid reef]

[idle wing]

lmao

[silver mulch]

i left bandwidth running for hours and still havent gotten none

[upbeat shuttle]

have you read the pinned messages at least twice?

[silver mulch]

yes

[silver mulch]

It depends on your position in the 'queue'. People that have been running Bandwidth Sharing for hours - even days - will be Salad's first choice for giving Bandwidth Sharing jobs to.
There is also a bit of luck involved - Some people can start earning immediately after starting, and some people don't start seeing earnings until hours after starting. Just be patient and see 🙂 (edited)
[10:18 AM]
is this why probaby

[upbeat shuttle]

could be

there are also other potential reasons in the pins

[kindred helm]

thats looks like 1 cent per hour

i hate discord

[silver mulch]

where do i change bandwidth settings

[kindred helm]

it shows old chats for some reason and there isnt the "youre viewing old messages" thing so i just say things unrelated to the current conversation

[upbeat shuttle]

?

[pulsar arrow]

no

capitalising on it

[pulsar arrow]

I think so but I have stopped bw sharing before and started it immediately after and I'd still start earning 15-20 mins later

[hybrid delta]

damn

[subtle condor]

Ugh I have to turn off my PC to install my new GPU

I'm hoping I don't lose my queue in bandwidth sharing ☠️

[cunning sinew]

im getting nothing from bandwidth sharing

i think it works tho

[silver mulch]

i dont know if mines working

[silver mulch]

is your sgs showing up

[pulsar arrow]

oh shit

imagine it stops working for you aswell

[silver mulch]

is it not working for u

[pulsar arrow]

it is

better than two weeks ago

[silver mulch]

does sgs show up right away or only when u get a job

[pulsar arrow]

only when I get a job

cus as soon as sgs pops up, it begins using bandwidth

so that's my theory

[subtle condor]

LOL I GOT A JOB THE SECOND I RESTARTED IT :D

[pulsar arrow]

lool nicee

bandwidth has used 259gbs today

[silver mulch]

rip

[pulsar arrow]

and 2 tbs this weke

[silver mulch]

how long did it take to get a job

[pulsar arrow]

he said it already lol

the second he restarted

Charles are you sure your speeds are up to the min spec?

[silver mulch]

wanna see

[pulsar arrow]

sure

[pulsar arrow]

lol u got better speeds than me

in upload atleast.

well then it's best to keep waiting ig

salad logic is dumb

[silver mulch]

so just keep it running

[gleaming shell]

I have a feeling my bandwidth sharing is broken and it's not my 50ms ping

[pulsar arrow]

yes.... i guess

I usually restart and then let it sit overnight

[pulsar arrow]

rip American bw sharers

[gleaming shell]

I'm in the us

[pulsar arrow]

yes

[gleaming shell]

I think something is broken as I haven't gotten sgs client to start since October of last year

[pulsar arrow]

try the good ol' strangling your isp

but nah the us has been messed up for a while

[silver mulch]

wdym?

[pulsar arrow]

was a joke lmao

[pulsar arrow]

altho, it doesn't make sense how u get NO jobs at all

did u try reinstall

[gleaming shell]

I've tried almost everything lol

[pulsar arrow]

I'm sorry but you have a severe case of misfortune

[gleaming shell]

It could be my ping being the reason why sgs client won't start but idk

Idk if 50ms is high

[pulsar arrow]

does it say that in ndm?

[gleaming shell]

Yeah

[pulsar arrow]

or speedtest.net

oh

is it like a server nearby

[gleaming shell]

In the ndm logs

[pulsar arrow]

my ping is 33ms

[gleaming shell]

My speeds are usually good enough but my ping is 50ms last time I checked

[pulsar arrow]

what about when you run a normal speedtest

on the browser

[gleaming shell]

Not sure
I'm at school rn lol

[pulsar arrow]

Ah alr then

if the ping is lower on speedtestnet, it's salads servers being too far away or slow

[gleaming shell]

It's either my ping is too high or something is broken

Bc ik speeds are good enough

[pulsar arrow]

ye

Welp rip

[gleaming shell]

Your sgs client starts up when you start salad right?

[pulsar arrow]

no

when I restart my pf

pc

oh wai

I read that as

ndm

still a no lol

I need to get jobs to get sgs running

I know this bcus as soon as it pops up, it starts using 50mbps of bandwidth

[gleaming shell]

My sgs client isn't even installed

Should it automatically install?

[pulsar arrow]

yeah that's a shitty problem I had once

I literally reinstalled windows to get it working

well not reinstall

downgrade

from windows 11 to 10

[pulsar arrow]

it should

[gleaming shell]

My sgs client is not on both of my laptops and my windows to go drive

[pulsar arrow]

isp blocking something?

idk salad troubleshooting is weird asf

[gleaming shell]

Not sure

All I know is that it worked before

[pulsar arrow]

can't they just provide an all in one test

[silver mulch]

i dont know if i should leave it running all night to get a job or what

[cunning sinew]

no

[hollow vortex]

Idk my bandwidth been running almost 48 hrs st8 not moving much traffic but some .

Bout 100 gig a day

[silver mulch]

how long have some of u guys using bandwidth been in a queue to use it

[stiff wedge]

i got a job in less than 2 seconds bro

[cunning sinew]

i havent gotten anything from it today

[old compass]

Guys

What Is the name of the bandwidth log folder for US

Ik in UK it's sgs-uk or something like that

I'm trying to help my friend

[frigid reef]

most likely Bandwidth-SGS-USA or US

[old compass]

Ok

[silver mulch]

i dont got that folder

[frigid reef]

then you got no bandwidth sharing running

[silver mulch]

is it because im in the queue

[frigid reef]

if your in the queue then it should show logs just with 0 data throughput inside the log

[old compass]

I don't think you have SGS

You have similar issue to my friend @cunning sinew

[silver mulch]

i see ndm logs with download and upload rate

[frigid reef]

Yeah that runs for everyone

[old compass]

Yeah my friend had that

Hmmm

[frigid reef]

ndm is inside the salad thing runs for everyone bandwidth sharing or not

[silver mulch]

so is my bandwidth not working then

[old compass]

Nie

[frigid reef]

that or there is too many people sharing in the us

[silver mulch]

is there a map to see how many people are sharing in the us

[frigid reef]

nope

[old compass]

No

[silver mulch]

oh so just wait in the queue

[safe loom]

switching isp’s this month

@frigid reef

i just found 1gbps down and 50 up for the same price i’m paying for 350 down (which is usually 600) and 40 up

1gbps i want

except i have to go back to god awful nbn

[hollow vortex]

unless you do a shit down of downloading , 1 gig vs 600 is only 40mb/s a second which if you dont download a shit ton of shit all day/ or huge files not that big of a differnece to me ...... the upload speed makes a big difference to me.

if your not using SSD hard drive - gig internet is pointless cause you can't write fast enough .

[upbeat shuttle]

huh

what else could people possibly be using other than an SSD or HDD..?

[hollow vortex]

hdd's cant handle gig download write speed. and alot of off the shelf's pcs have small SSD drives half is full from the OS . and 2nd dairy is HDD

[upbeat shuttle]

There are so many things that I want to argue about but I really have to sleep

I might come back to this tomorrow

[safe loom]

i have plenty of reason

mind yo business little guy

i’ll list you one, my multimedia server

[upbeat shuttle]

also it's not all about constantly making use of the increased speed

for relatively short bursty downloads, it helps make things feel smoother, i guess

[safe loom]

it would be nicer to have a more stable connection, which i don’t necessarily have with my current isp

[upbeat shuttle]

also, just rough numbers here, but my NAS has 3x 5400rpm HDDs in raid, and it's able to still saturate a 2.5 gigabit connection, in both reads and writes

[safe loom]

https://tenor.com/view/troll-gif-20307589

[safe loom]

600 is average

it can be entirely higher or lower

it’s not a guaranteed speed

the 1gbps is guaranteed

[frigid reef]

yes salad will do a shit ton of downloading and uploading for bandwidth sharing

[tulip jolt]

💀

[safe loom]

🤝

bro got ratiod by 3 people because of my personal choice

[sinful lark]

i live in australia and my bandwith sharing isnt working the sgs file isnt running at all i am not sure

[vagrant dirge]

Upload/download speed is too slow to make sgs client run, needs to be over 10mb

[sinful lark]

i already have thta

[vagrant dirge]

Like did you check the logs?

[sinful lark]

hold up how do i check them

[sinful lark]

no logs folder for me

[vagrant dirge]

Your in the workloads folder

[upbeat shuttle]

💀

[vagrant dirge]

• SGS AU should be in there

[safe loom]

he might have some bug where the upload speed gets slower the more librespeed runs

keeps happening to me

[vagrant dirge]

Kept on happening to me, all I did to fix the upload speed from suddenly dipping was to close librespeed halfway through the test and run it again by closing Salad bowl service in task manager to rerun the test (not sure if it works for you)

[safe loom]

in windows 11 you can’t close salad bowl

even for a second

atleast on my pc

[vagrant dirge]

For me, it doesn't close, but restarts and then it will rerun the test

[safe loom]

i get what you mean

but cameron knows of the bug so it’ll probably be fixed soon

[upbeat shuttle]

i wish Salad had something in the settings that'll make it re-run the speed test on demand

[safe loom]

real

like a “reset bandwidth settings” button

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

[vagrant dirge]

That would save me so much time

[safe loom]

real

librespeed is open source

i might try to find the exact problem while i’m busy doing nothing

[sinful lark]

Wait so what exactly should I do to fix it

[upbeat shuttle]

are there any logs, in the logs folder, for 'ndm'?

[sinful lark]

Let me check rq

[hollow vortex]

Just end salad.bowl in process it re-opens seconds later and re-runs libspeed...

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah I know there's a workaround for now, but I'd like an actual thing in the Salad app to be able to do that

and we still don't really know the full extent of what effects ending saladbowl has

so I'd rather not do that

[hollow vortex]

Hasn't effected anything on my end , that is noticable anyhow.

[vagrant dirge]

The slow upload speeds have to do something with librespeeds servers

Because it always drops suddenly halfway during the upload test

[hollow vortex]

My upload speeds to libspeed have been on point everytime . Always 25--35Mbps never less then .

[vagrant dirge]

Well your on a different server

[hollow vortex]

Cause you have jitter/and or ur connection isn't very stable

[vagrant dirge]

My jitter and ping is below 15ms

[hollow vortex]

Could be ISP aswell. Not libspeed server. Can't point what you don't know .

[vagrant dirge]

No because if I run speedtest.net it is normal

[hollow vortex]

Perhaps could be then . But for me . My upload has been more onpoint then my download from libspeed .

[sinful lark]

there are logs

like 1 log

i restarted it but the bandwith thing doesnt seem to be working still

can anyone help me>

[upbeat shuttle]

what are the download and upload speeds?

[sinful lark]

25/4

no 25/5

is that sutible

[upbeat shuttle]

according to the pinned messages, the minimum speed is roughly 10mbps for both upload and download

[sinful lark]

oh damn

[sinful lark]

is there a way that it can be below that or no

[upbeat shuttle]

when I said minimum, I meant minimum..

[sinful lark]

damn idk why my download is so different to my upload ig there is nothing i can do

[safe loom]

are you in au?

[vagrant dirge]

Yes

[silver mulch]

whats librespeed

[upbeat shuttle]

the speed test software that Salad uses

[silver mulch]

oh so do i need to run that to get sgs

or sgs only pops up when theres a job available

[upbeat shuttle]

Salad runs it automatically after startup

[silver mulch]

sgs or libre

[upbeat shuttle]

librespeed

[upbeat shuttle]

this is how I currently understand sgs-client starting to be ^^

[silver mulch]

so just left it running

[upbeat shuttle]

yep

[silver mulch]

@upbeat shuttle is it compatible with cpu or do i have to keep cpu and gpu off

[upbeat shuttle]

you can run GPU at the same time, but you can't CPU mine at the same time

[silver mulch]

so keep cpu off

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah basically

unless if you're using the containers beta (#container-beta)

then you can keep it on

[silver mulch]

what u mean

[upbeat shuttle]

CPU mining uses enough of your CPU for it to sometimes interfere with Bandwidth Sharing, so Salad decided to not allow Bandwidth Sharing to run at the same time as it.
Though the Containers Beta doesn't use as much of your CPU, so it can safely run alongside Bandwidth Sharing without impacting its performance.

[silver mulch]

oh but im having an issue with mine its been using xmrig all night instead of vmmem

[upbeat shuttle]

mmm I unfortunately don't know much about troubleshooting containers not working - your best bet is either reading the pinned messages in #container-beta or filling out the bug report form, which is also in the pinned messages over there

[silver mulch]

oh so i just gotta wait for a bandwidth job to comeup then i will get it as long as i keep it running

[upbeat shuttle]

possibly

if you haven't already, I'd recommend reading through the pinned Troubleshooting Guide and FAQs here :)

[pulsar arrow]

my bw sharing has stopped running

sgs still pops up though

🙂

[sinful prism]

my bandwidth sharing has completely stopped working recently

[hollow vortex]

Mine stopped sharing bandwidth last night but still actively running - haven't been home to check sinse this morning .

[pulsar arrow]

my bandwidth is not consuming bandwidth since yesterday night

just container runs

[steady crown]

RELEASE BANDWITH SHARING IN CANADA NOW!

[upbeat shuttle]

'Refer to the pinned FAQs' does not mean 'repeat yourself, but in a different channel'

[cunning sinew]

wth

ew light mode

[pulsar arrow]

Hey can someone look through my sgs logs and tell me if theres anything wrong or if its just me getting no jobs

its weird having ZERO earnings from bandwidth after so many days

sgs client still pops up within 10 minutes in task manager

after restarts

[frigid reef]

0 jobs but also that shows it running for like a hour or two max

what could be the issue in why you dont get jobs in long term

[pulsar arrow]

nono thats from a recent restart i did

because i had to take my laptop to school

it ran outta juice

[pulsar arrow]

shutdown*

[cunning sinew]

...

[pulsar arrow]

thanks for checkin it out

first time ive stopped salad in like a month

[idle wing]

somehow my test speeds are better without using ethernet

[hollow vortex]

log file looks fine - its showing that it isn't finding any jobs for you.

[hollow vortex]

ethernet cable could be compromised ( i.e loose /breakage in a wire inside)

[idle wing]

that sounds pretty right accurate cuz when I test with the ethernet it starts off strong with download but when it gets to upload, it goes from 100+ to all the way down to single digits in one test

[safe loom]

that seems to be a current problem

the salad team are aware of it

[idle wing]

Oh

Bruh

I used to be able to get 300 up and down but now it’s like 250 down and 100 up

[idle wing]

I swear sometimes librespeed uses more data than sgs-client lmao

[gleaming shell]

Same but it's all the time

[pulsar arrow]

bandwidth still hasn't earned anything ☹️

[hollow vortex]

same here - almost 2 days st8

wonder if theres a backend issue - or there just is literally less jobs than 2 days ago.

[pulsar arrow]

makes no sense mine suddenly just stops lol

atleast like something in this time

[thorn lantern]

same

[thorn lantern]

mine happen to me like 3 days ago happen and to other ppl i know i am earning nothing

[pulsar arrow]

damn so it's not just me

I'm earning 20 cents a day from container

wtf

[thorn lantern]

switch conatiner off and restart it happend to me to for container

[pulsar arrow]

yeah i did

[thorn lantern]

i know like 10 ppl in uk who making nothing

i just given up hope on the sgs

[pulsar arrow]

im just gonna keep it runnin

[thorn lantern]

i just check it from there and then

[thorn lantern]

same with conatiner

[pulsar arrow]

ye

[thorn lantern]

had sgs client runing for 24hrs and got nothing

[frigid reef]

just run it for longer

there is no garentee to get earnings within 24 hours

[thorn lantern]

i ran it for 3days staright

straight

[thorn lantern]

shall i run it for a month ? or year ?

[frigid reef]

yes run it more eventually you will start getting jobs

there is no pain on keeping it on

if all its doing is sitting there taking up like 400mb of ram

waiting for a bandwidth job

[thorn lantern]

theres no pain for me just for my parents

[dense flare]

Why isn't mine working?

[frigid reef]

Have you tried reading the pins like i said

[dense flare]

Oh ok

[shrewd terrace]

no work

any one help

[kindred helm]

did you read the pins

[shrewd terrace]

well it doent work for me

no vpn used

[kindred helm]

basically, bandwidth sharing uses a job system. Sometimes you just wont get any jobs. Salad prioritizes people with stable, high internet speed
just wait more

there is also this
https://support.salad.com/article/295-bandwidth-sharing-quick-troubleshooting-guide

[upbeat shuttle]

which the pinned messages cover - and more ;)

[hollow vortex]

any idea on this ? 2023-01-27 04:04:00.566 -05:00 [INF] {"level":"error","ts":1674810240.5648978,"caller":"ingress/api-client.go:168","msg":"Cannot receive data: EOF","stacktrace":"github.com/SaladTechnologies/sgs/pkg/ingress.ConnectToSGSServer.func1\n\tC:/Users/ericn/Documents/Projects/salad-gateway-service/go/pkg/ingress/api-client.go:168"}

after 3 days no bdw sharing , checked the logs - got 3 days worth of that ^^^^^ mentioned earlier . makes sense somethings not working correctly

[frigid reef]

are you using a vpn?

[hollow vortex]

of course not

[hollow vortex]

no , worked perfect before 3 days ago . had jobs all day long. weird . nothing on my end has changed

[frigid reef]

hmm is your logs just filled with that

[hollow vortex]

heres 1 . yes

[frigid reef]

Have you whitelisted salad in your antivirus and also your firewall?

[hollow vortex]

lol, cmon my guy. yes. It was working for weeks - then all of a sudden.

[frigid reef]

hmmm tbh i havent seen this before, have you tried just restarting salad

[hollow vortex]

yes several times - just reinstalled and still same message

[frigid reef]

best not to send your ndm log as it includes your ip

just to let you know

[hollow vortex]

oops wrong one lol

[frigid reef]

have you tried another dns maybe?

[hollow vortex]

i haven't changed dns

[frigid reef]

might be something nice to try, other then that all i can suggest is to contact #official-support

[hollow vortex]

i'll reboot router see if it helps.

[hollow vortex]

have you got a job yet? have you got the same error as i do?

[pulsar arrow]

I haven't gotten a job yet but I don't have those in my logs

[pulsar arrow]

I restarted my router yesterday and while it wasn't connected, I had those in my logs

so it's probably u losing your internet for a bit

stats","BidirThroughput":0,"ErrorRate":0,"TTFB":0,"NGPCsQZ":0,"NGPCsConnected":0,"NRoutes":0,"NNodesWithRoutes":0,"NRoutesLeastLoad":0,"NRoutesGreatestLoaded":0,"NGracePeriodReconns":0,"NHappyPathDisconns":0,"NErrorPathDisconns":0}
that's my current log

or well part of it lmfao forgot to copy all of it

[frigid reef]

ye just waiting for a job

[hollow vortex]

weird my intenet's fine lol .

this was yesterday when I had a temporary outage on my router

[hollow vortex]

yeah thats diff from mine

[pulsar arrow]

Yeah, anyhoo I'm not getting jobs

it's so weird aswell

jobs for like 4 months straight

and suddenly none

with no restart or anything

[hollow vortex]

i sent official support a email . just waiting the painful days for a response lol.

[pulsar arrow]

Yeah support is slow

I bet if I msgd them they'd tell me to wait for a job

which is valid

[hollow vortex]

lol yeah - your log looks like waiting for a job lol

[frigid reef]

same i got a error then it just stopped giving me jobs as it sent me back to the list

[pulsar arrow]

I had no error lmao

my earnings were on fire

[frigid reef]

well this?

[pulsar arrow]

that's yesterday's

I had disconnected from my WiFi

that was after I stopped receiving jobs

[hollow vortex]

now this after restarting salad LOL cmon !!!!

[pulsar arrow]

then the graph suddenly just went to 0 after about 11pm

[pulsar arrow]

Probably got CPU enabled

[frigid reef]

do you have both cpu and bandwidth enabled?

[pulsar arrow]

I have the same issue

[hollow vortex]

yes

always ^^

[frigid reef]

ah thats why then

cpu mining + bandwidth dont work together

if its a container then it works

[pulsar arrow]

Damn that makes no sense for that limitation

[hollow vortex]

it has - oh hmmm yeah i see xmrig running for a sec

[pulsar arrow]

Good thing I ran container on a side laptop all these months

but this is a recent issue though

[hollow vortex]

still same error on SGS log. wtf

[pulsar arrow]

salad logic + troubleshooting eventually ends at a wall

u can't do much about it than hope it resolves itself

we need more feedback from the app lol not just a guide to troubleshoot

if it's waiting for a job, have like a status that shows it

[frigid reef]

yeah all you can do is send a ticket in to #official-support

[hollow vortex]

I just added SGS to my firewall expections . lol

Doing system restore back to a day it worked Incase something changed that a reinstall of salad didn't fix.

[hollow vortex]

wow seems like beta 3 has butchered my upload speed.

[cloud nexus]

are there plans to add bandwith sharing to austria

[upbeat shuttle]

Refer to the pinned FAQs

(Here ^^)

[cloud nexus]

thx

[peak terrace]

bandwidth sharing is fully saturating my 30mbit upload

[hollow vortex]

After about 30 libspeed restarts , finally got a semi normal test . smh. now lets see if sgs starts and my errors are gone

[pulsar arrow]

did it

@hollow vortex

[hollow vortex]

normally sgs pops on in about 15 mins - hasn't yet. I did a fresh install of windows - " installed beta 3" ran 30+ lib speed tests to get my normal usual up/down speeds - still waiting.

[pulsar arrow]

alright

has sgs client installed for you

bcus sometimes salad wont download sgs client

[hollow vortex]

speaking of the devil lol sgs just popped up

[hollow vortex]

yeppers

[pulsar arrow]

same lol

I just realized my upload speed is reporting 2mbps in the ndm logs

[hollow vortex]

still above min i believe - but i got a few that 20 plus test that said i was 1mbps LOL usually i test around 30mbps

[pulsar arrow]

2mbps is definitely not above minimum lmfaoo

it's like 5

or 10

depends on the region

yikess

[hollow vortex]

clean install of windows and all.

[pulsar arrow]

salad is Hella unreliable

[hollow vortex]

wondering is my ISP is blocking something specific that pertains to sgs ? worked for weeks .

[pulsar arrow]

could be

but that doesn't make sense

[hollow vortex]

Showing nothing on my router logs , or my secruty alerts on my router/ISP logs.

[pulsar arrow]

why specifically sgs client

[hollow vortex]

what i dont understand. im at a dead end trying to figure it out. looked at all the stuff i can possibly think of

[pulsar arrow]

fr man, can't even ask the mods since they only know what they've been told

I'm jelly

the people in #show-off-your-earnings are earning 3 a day

[hollow vortex]

i know - i was getting 30-60 cents a day off it

Support sent my logs to the backend team - so might be a few days sinse its the weekend now

[pulsar arrow]

Yup, just gotta wait for them to figure it out

[subtle condor]

this is so consistent wth

[pulsar arrow]

I miss having these graphs on my summary page

[subtle condor]

same, I haven't had this in weeks lol

[pulsar arrow]

I've had nothing for about 3 days

container keeps breaking

[subtle condor]

damn

same

[pulsar arrow]

bandwidth doesn't even get me any jobs

[subtle condor]

container has never worked for me so I just never use it

[pulsar arrow]

for some reason
