Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[safe loom]

higher speeds and lower quality and higher uptime usually get prioritised

[hoary gazelle]

so if i leave it running for longer it will be prioritized?

[mighty light]

possibly

what country though

[hoary gazelle]

USA

[mighty light]

yea

the US is very hard to get a job in

there are so many nodes

with around the same speed

[hoary gazelle]

ah

[mighty light]

the UK is op

lots of demand less supply

[hoary gazelle]

if speed is a big factor, then i might go back to my original plan and get a windows KVM running on my linux server with gigabit

[mighty light]

so people make bank

[mighty light]

That's the problem lol, so many people in the US have gigabit

[hoary gazelle]

ah, i see

i thought it was still pretty uncommon, that surprises me

[hoary gazelle]

well, time to move to the UK then

[mighty light]

ikr

nova has made nearly 9 dollars a day off UK bandwidth

[hoary gazelle]

holy crap

that's way more than i was expecting

[mighty light]

yea like I said

UK is op

and I don't think nova even has gigabit

[hoary gazelle]

just gotta ship a windows laptop to the UK and pay someone to connect it to the internet

lmao

[mighty light]

stupid discord forums

I marked it as read

[hoary gazelle]

i wonder, if you ran salad on a windows VPS in the UK, could you make back the money you put in?

[mighty light]

and it tells me there are 8 new posts

[hoary gazelle]

the only problem I could see is that it wouldn't be residential

[mighty light]

yea

Just buy a outhouse in the middle of the countryside and setup a pc there

[hoary gazelle]

i wonder if a UK VPN with a residential IP exists

[mighty light]

maybe, but that's against TOS so don't talk about it here

[hoary gazelle]

yeah, i'm aware

i'm not actually going to do it, simply because i don't care enough lmao

containers have brought me from making 0.07 a day to $1 a day, i'm happy with that for now

[mighty light]

I'm just excited for release

When hopefully we get paid by hardware

not just market demand

[hoary gazelle]

yeah, that'll be epic

[mighty light]

because I have 2 3090s running and 2 3090s waiting for dual gpu support

and ig, I just give a big fat L to my 3070

[hoary gazelle]

damn

my 3060ti should still be enough for some good jobs

[civic fern]

You... Gave me an actual good idea

Let me check the adapters

Nope nevermind lol

Still problems

[unique cedar]

letsgooo

it's finally stable

[pseudo fog]

ATLEAST YOU HAVE BW SHARING

[civic fern]

yeah, he does

luckhy

lucky

[green dragon]

how do i get my bandwith to work

[cobalt crystal]

get lucky

[upbeat shuttle]

all of my knowledge about bandwidth sharing is in the pinned posts

and all of my knowledge is basically all of everyone's knowledge

[green dragon]

this is goofy

i cant find the sgs client

[jovial fiber]

i uninstalled it too but yeah that fix nothing

[shrewd terrace]

Bro I'll be de@d when bw comes to India

[green dragon]

not their fault

[shrewd terrace]

Ye ik

[green dragon]

sgs doesnt turn on by itself help

[low helm]

Did you guys increased the earnings from france throughout Bandwidth workload?

I was getting around 1/2 of a cent every 15 mins, but now i almost am at 1/15 mins

[jovial fiber]

idk because IT DOESN'T WORK

;-; i'm not mad at all, i promise

[crimson relic]

What countries have the bandwidth?
in salad.com

[green dragon]

@upbeat shuttle i summon thee

why doesnt sgs client start automatically

and when i run it manually why doesnt it find a job

[upbeat shuttle]

read the pinned messages

[upbeat shuttle]

well running it manually definitely won't work

even with the right arguments

[green dragon]

yes

[upbeat shuttle]

it needs to be started by Salad

[green dragon]

but salad doesnt start it

or in other words how do i make salad start it

[upbeat shuttle]

what country and speeds?

[green dragon]

UK

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

that's definitely above the minimum

and there's definitely a good amount of demand for the UK still

[cobalt crystal]

what about log speeds tho

[upbeat shuttle]

have you checked that your IP quality score is good?

[upbeat shuttle]

oh yeah that's a good point

[viscid dove]

What countries have the bandwidth? is it in india yet?

[upbeat shuttle]

check the pinned messages

[cobalt crystal]

libre could be being stupid like always

[upbeat shuttle]

and the second FAQ

[viscid dove]

how do u do that?

[upbeat shuttle]

!pins

[sick helm]

How do I find the Pinned Messages?

This channel has a lot of useful information in the "Pinned Messages" section!

[stiff wedge]

Bandwidth sharing

[cobalt crystal]

badwidth sharting

[green dragon]

ye

[green dragon]

it's 25 in logs

[upbeat shuttle]

do you have anything else other than Bandwidth Sharing enabled in Salad?

[green dragon]

cpu

and container

is this a problem

in the ndm

[upbeat shuttle]

shouldn't be, I've seen it plenty before

[upbeat shuttle]

you could try disabling that and seeing if it decides to work

Bandwidth Sharing should theoretically work with CPU containers, but since it always runs a mining workload initially, that could be confusing it
(since bw + cpu mining does not work)

[green dragon]

hmm

[shadow ivy]

slow

[green dragon]

is there an easier way to find sgs client in task manager

[upbeat shuttle]

uhh

[green dragon]

not about thar

[shadow ivy]

do u have any vms installed 😄

[upbeat shuttle]

it's not that difficult heh

just open task manager and scroll until you see apps starting with 's', since it's sorted alphabetically

[green dragon]

oh damn its on now

so now we need to wait for a job?

[upbeat shuttle]

yep

[green dragon]

0.34

now we wait

[shadow ivy]

mega do u have glasswire installed

[green dragon]

no

it made 0.09c in 2 mins

[shadow ivy]

install glasswire

it's helpful

[green dragon]

ok

[chilly peak]

or use foss software

like portmaster

[shadow ivy]

glasswire is easier tho to setup

[chilly peak]

(just disable some of its protection features like "force disable incoming connections" or "force block device-local connections")

[green dragon]

what do these apps do

[chilly peak]

last time i tried using it i had to login just to use the software

??

[shadow ivy]

it shows u how much bandwidth

[upbeat shuttle]

they paywalled most of their features, including dark mode

[chilly peak]

and also paywalls

[shadow ivy]

ok?

you still get what u need from it

[upbeat shuttle]

not exactly

[chilly peak]

portmaster is foss and has all the features you really need from glasswire

[shadow ivy]

u see how much bandwidth ur sharing

[chilly peak]

including protection for free

glasswire paywalls that

[shadow ivy]

ok mega get portmaster then

[chilly peak]

and also just foss software >>

[upbeat shuttle]

they paywalled being able to see beyond the past 24h in bandwidth usage

[shadow ivy]

cuz im always incorrect

[green dragon]

ok what do i use

[shadow ivy]

portmaster

glasswire is very bad

[chilly peak]

you can use whatever you want

[shadow ivy]

don't listen to me

ever

i have no clue what im talking about

okay?

[green dragon]

uhhh sure

[chilly peak]

but i personally just prefer portmaster since its foss and has features i need for free

[green dragon]

https://safing.io

this?

[chilly peak]

yes

[green dragon]

ok

[chilly peak]

^

[green dragon]

ok

[green dragon]

lmaooo

[chilly peak]

how

[shadow ivy]

idfk

[shadow ivy]

windows xp gamong

gaming

[green dragon]

i dont have external

aughhh

[green dragon]

oh yeah

[shadow ivy]

yeah

we're troubleshooting

how much storage i have 😄

[green dragon]

😄

[shadow ivy]

i can't uninstall, because of how full my drive is...

[green dragon]

what do u emulate

[shadow ivy]

snap

[green dragon]

snapchat

💀

[shadow ivy]

??

catfish

[green dragon]

what

[shadow ivy]

u don't know what catfishing is

[green dragon]

why does it take so long

[green dragon]

i do

[shadow ivy]

cuz its installing the bitcoin miners on ur pc

ur antivirus needs to be disabled

[green dragon]

huh

[chilly peak]

“This may take a while”

It’s downloading it’s files

[green dragon]

yeah but this is too long

[chilly peak]

It took a bit for me

[green dragon]

is it possible to use someone referral

[chilly peak]

probably downloading from their servers and they have to throttle bandwidth

[green dragon]

nw

[green dragon]

o

[chilly peak]

After signing up salad would give you code salad if you didn’t have one during sign up

Doesn’t matter since it gives you 2x earnings anyways

But you don’t support anyone

[green dragon]

what

[chilly peak]

When you use someone’s referral you’d help them earn a bit of money

[green dragon]

my friend used mine yeah but can i use someone elses

[chilly peak]

^

so you cant use their code now

[green dragon]

sad

i coulda used the 2x

[chilly peak]

^

you would be defaulted to code salad

[green dragon]

huh

[green dragon]

oh

what does portmaster even do

[chilly peak]

Allows you to monitor network traffic

also has built in protection features you can choose to have (would be paid with glasswire)

[green dragon]

why is my bandwith earning in uk so small

aughhh

[cobalt crystal]

idk

[green dragon]

gr

[green dragon]

how do i make it turn on at startup

[silver cedar]

hrrggghhhh US bandwidth sharing is inconsistent

(that flat area is the 3 containers)

[cobalt crystal]

yea i know

its bad

we kinda have some similar spikes

i have 700 down and 25 up

according to the logs

which was such a lucky run

[cobalt crystal]

fuck my power flickers

d

there goes the good score

most likely

[gleaming shell]

Still no sgs client here

Burning in the depths of hell still

[cobalt crystal]

[jovial fiber]

i was scared a second

[cobalt crystal]

how lol

[jovial fiber]

idk 😭

[green dragon]

my sgs runs but it barely gives anything in the uk

aughhhh

[pulsar arrow]

here's some hope

[gleaming shell]

my sgs dosent even run at all

(its not even dwnloaded)

[green dragon]

sus

[green dragon]

bro mine gives nothing

share

ur secrets

[pulsar arrow]

is sgs using bandwith

or is it just there

[green dragon]

it does

for other people

[pulsar arrow]

I'm asking for you

if not, it's still looking for jobs

[green dragon]

idk

tbh

[pulsar arrow]

check task manager

[green dragon]

it doesnt do anything

[pulsar arrow]

still looking for jobs I presume

[green dragon]

but for how long

😢

[pulsar arrow]

I don't know!

🙂

[green dragon]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1063139479562498168.webp?size=48

[pulsar arrow]

[shadow ivy]

lucky

sgs isn't even running for me

[gleaming shell]

same

[shadow ivy]

hopefully salad fixes it soon

[gleaming shell]

I will literally consider anyone that is in the US with sgs client atleast downloaded lucky

[shadow ivy]

im in the uk

so

i should have it running lol

[gleaming shell]

I'm in the US
It really sucka here
Hard to get bandwidth jobs and they don't pay well

(I've heard)

[shadow ivy]

the one time bandwidth worked

it just randomly stopped working

so yeah..

idk how to make sgs run

[green dragon]

it barely even does anything tho

[shadow ivy]

what country are u from

[green dragon]

uk

[shadow ivy]

because u just gotta let it run for longer

and it makes you higher priority

[gleaming shell]

16601th message

[green dragon]

it makes itself high priority or do i

[shadow ivy]

?

u just get higher priority

u get bigger jobs

etc

[green dragon]

ohhh

[shadow ivy]

yea sgs isnt even in task manager lol

[green dragon]

so overtime I'm guessing

[green dragon]

damn

[shadow ivy]

imma restart my pc

[green dragon]

check ndm if ur upload and download are over 10

[shadow ivy]

i just keep restarting until it starts running

[green dragon]

and

[shadow ivy]

they are

i check them every time

[green dragon]

exclude from firewall

[shadow ivy]

yup

done that aswell

[green dragon]

that's what I did

and it worked somehow

ozua helped me

[green dragon]

:)

[shadow ivy]

all these containers

[shadow ivy]

lmao

[green dragon]

how

[shadow ivy]

i run cpu mining for long

cpu containers

[green dragon]

I do too

[shadow ivy]

i have like very good priority ig

[green dragon]

I don't meet requirements for gpu

container

[shadow ivy]

yea neither

sgs started running as soon as i accepted it into my firewall

thanks alot mega

my earnings got boosted right away lmao

[shrewd terrace]

sgs is working rn

but its like 700 bytes every 30 secs

[hollow vortex]

No issues here . Just limited jobs tbh.

[gleaming shell]

I don't think my bandwidth sharing is broken, it's probs my trust rating and I'm not worthy enought for jobs

But I haven't gotten sgs client to download in a very long time so I can't be 100% sure that it's not broken
That's why I'm keeping my laptop on for 2 months

[hollow vortex]

Think so. I have had mine off for few days. Turn back on and bam 15 mins sgs fired up and I get little traffic

But at this point for 10 cents a day. It doesn't pay to leave my laptop on. Lol

So basically giving someone in the US some jobs. 😮‍💨

Ill check back in a few weeks to see if jobs pick up or there's update on container jobs

[hollow vortex]

see sgs popped on within 15 mins - started up my laptop at 5:05 lol

[upbeat shuttle]

To anyone in the UK failing to get sgs-client to start, this troubleshooting tip could apply to you in particular

[shadow ivy]

the firewall

fixed mine

[unborn mason]

mine sgs doesnt even start not even downloaded in the workload folder

[shadow ivy]

antivirus then

[unborn mason]

i allowed it

through windows defender

[loud ravine]

what do I do if I don’t have the sgs file even installed in my workloads folder

[naive lava]

now what?

what does it mean tho

[unique cedar]

are you using a vpn

[naive lava]

nope

pure wifi

[unique cedar]

try turning off your router for 10 minutes

then turn on

[naive lava]

why is it reported as blacklisted?

[naive lava]

oh wait msges got deleted

anyways

[naive lava]

@upbeat shuttle

[quick sinew]

who ping

[civic fern]

Asking the same question here

[naive lava]

the msgs got deleted

[pulsar arrow]

my bw has stopped

and I'm at school

@subtle condor is yours back

sorry for the ping

[subtle condor]

I'll check in school rn though

It's fine

[subtle condor]

ping me anytime ya like, I don't mind :3

[pulsar arrow]

oki

I'm at school rn so I can't do anything

even containers stopped

[cobalt crystal]

rip

[subtle condor]

I'm guessing your PC crashed

[pulsar arrow]

well, could've, but containers on a different laptop lol

[safe loom]

internet dropped?

[safe loom]

have you used honeygain before?

[ancient marlin]

type ozua type

[upbeat shuttle]

you could've just been reassigned an IP that was previously used for sussy purposes, just restart your router and hopefully you'll be assigned a new one

[naive lava]

got it

what if i get that reassigned again?

[naive lava]

wtf is that

[safe loom]

ive got my answer

[upbeat shuttle]

unfortunate

[low helm]

This method, even after a week still worked 24/7, never needed to terminate Bowl.service process.
(At least it works in France, dunno for other countries)

[pulsar arrow]

[frigid reef]

oh that was me, i turned it back on for you

[pulsar arrow]

oh thanks!

[frigid reef]

np, that will be £50

will that be paid in card or cash

[naive lava]

nais

[pulsar arrow]

use my code for 1x bonous

[frigid reef]

[pulsar arrow]

[frigid reef]

about to turn it back off ngl

[pulsar arrow]

nooo

ozua will pay you

[naive lava]

chill

[civic fern]

Could you do that for me too?

[frigid reef]

no

[civic fern]

Italy bandwidth is... meh

:c

Meanie :c

[cobalt crystal]

could fiddling with my router settings and putting my bandwidth rig at the top of the priority list possible increase earnings?

or would it only prevent a loss in earnings if another device is using a lot of bw

[pseudo fog]

WHAT THE HELL U SAYING BRUH

some people dream of bw sharing

even if its 3 cents a day

[green dragon]

np uwu

how do i tell when my sgs client finds a job

[pseudo fog]

earning/network usage high

[green dragon]

yay

[pseudo fog]

job real?

[green dragon]

idk

damn i got 0.050 quick

nice

[civic fern]

nono, i mean

even if i get it to run- and it's an extremely big if due to a glitch, there is no actual bandwidth sharing going on

[pseudo fog]

oh ok

i thought u meant low earns

[civic fern]

bidirectional throughput stays always at 0 Bytes

[hollow vortex]

really hope salad uses a diff speed tester. ridic how many times u have to run it to get anywhere near your actualy up/down speeds

[civic fern]

a lot of people, including myself, can't even pass the test, at all

at this point i don't understand if my pc has something wrong on it, or if the test fails because there's a bug on it

[hollow vortex]

its salad/ or the speed host. not your pc.

[green dragon]

sad

[hollow vortex]

i used many others and my test come back fine. infact almost 100% what im suppose to be at - but salad is always 50-80% off and takes 50 plus test to get decent speeds

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm pretty sure we've figured out that it's just some librespeed servers that are the issue

iirc, you're in the UK, right?

[hollow vortex]

no US.

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm

[hollow vortex]

16x ran the speed test today, all of them are crap. lol

[green dragon]

damn so its 12 for u rn

or whatever

[hollow vortex]

yeah lol my laptop time is wrong.

11:55

[upbeat shuttle]

which server(s) did it fail to reach your actual speeds with?

it'll say at the top of each log 'Selected server: '

[green dragon]

holy crap

[cobalt crystal]

that's slow

[green dragon]

huh

[cobalt crystal]

mine gets 700

[naive lava]

wtf

[green dragon]

impossible

[cobalt crystal]

it does

[naive lava]

duh who cares that's decent atleast

[green dragon]

ss

[cobalt crystal]

the day I got it my power flickerd

but I got a similar high score

and I can show it when I get home

[green dragon]

show me the log where it was 700

oh

[cobalt crystal]

the pc is on a ups now so power shouldn't be an issue anymore

[green dragon]

ups

[cobalt crystal]

uninterruptible power supply

[green dragon]

i have no idea but ill smile and nod

[cobalt crystal]

it's a batter that keep the computer on when the power goes out

battery

for a short period

[green dragon]

ohhh

shall i torrent or mine

[cobalt crystal]

I have my main setup and pc on it as well so it probably would only last like a min or 2 but my power never goes out for that long

[green dragon]

hmmm

[cobalt crystal]

plus it's a small one that I got for free

and I could build a li ion battery for it when the lead acid one stops working

[hollow vortex]

Virginia, New york, Atlanta ,

[cobalt crystal]

way bigger capacity

[hollow vortex]

all time low . think im on dial up LOL

[green dragon]

damn

username stands corrected

[upbeat shuttle]

oho that's more than I expected

[hollow vortex]

usually Virginia gives me the best results. seems not today

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

looks like NY and Atlanta both use Clouvider, but Virginia uses OVH

[hollow vortex]

yeah i noticed that

[upbeat shuttle]

have you tested if those 3 locations work as they should from https://librespeed.org/?

/ other locations in the US too

[hollow vortex]

omg lol

none of them even get close to my upload speed.

but NY almost hits my dl speed

[cobalt crystal]

yikers

.83 up

[green dragon]

why r ur guys's dl speed so high

[hollow vortex]

cuz i got gig net

[upbeat shuttle]

oof so this is definitely an issue with librespeed's servers, and not Salad

[hollow vortex]

they tried selling me 2 gig speeds LOL

[upbeat shuttle]

that's reassuing at least, as iirc Salad is gonna be changing either the servers or the service they use for speed tests real soon

[hollow vortex]

really hope so for the company lol.

[upbeat shuttle]

did you try other locations in the US too?

[hollow vortex]

its unreliable lol

[unique cedar]

btw i updated to windows 11 earlier and i dont have upload rate issues anymore

its above 10 every time i run the test

[civic fern]

goob goob

[frigid reef]

what should your upload be?

[safe loom]

mine is 700 without any power issues

[woven tundra]

Mine is around 1100

900-1100

[idle wing]

atlanta isblike

is like

being so weird

cuz it used to be up that was the problem

now it gives me like 20 down 200 up

[cobalt crystal]

nice

[pulsar arrow]

after a really hard butt-cracking hour of doing nothing, bandwidth is back

it kinda is tbh

[pulsar arrow]

windows 10 best

reinstall

and lose sgs client

[unique cedar]

got 11 today

[pulsar arrow]

bad

I hate it tbh

[unique cedar]

it fixed my upload issue somehow

na its good im enjoying it

i expected worse

[gleaming shell]

i use windows 11 but i dont really have much problems with it (with how i use it)

[pulsar arrow]

windows 11 slowed down tbh

[unique cedar]

10 is more professional ngl

[pulsar arrow]

itkept freezing my games

and 10 fixed my sgs client one time

it wouldn't turn on

just like urs

[hollow vortex]

skill issue. lol

[unique cedar]

prolly will leave it overnight dunno

[pulsar arrow]

windows 10 best!

[hollow vortex]

i use win 11 and no issues . just libspeed issues.

[pulsar arrow]

I just like the appearance more

of 10

compared to 11

11 looks way too minmilaistic

minimalistic

[gleaming shell]

mimianwsijrsic

[unique cedar]

when support for 10 ends u gotta upgrade

[upbeat shuttle]

says who

[unique cedar]

yea ur right

[gleaming shell]

wait
does installing glasswire require a restart or a temporary disconnection

if it does then im not gonna install it on my second laptop

[unique cedar]

i enjoy win 7 on my 10 years old laptop

[pulsar arrow]

in 2025

[unique cedar]

na

[upbeat shuttle]

it's pretty difficult to predict how much you'll earn

the best way to know is to just try it and see

[short junco]

I am not in Canada, US, Germany rn

but like approx?

[upbeat shuttle]

ah if you're not in a supported country, then $0

[upbeat shuttle]

I've seen people earning between like 50c up to a couple dollars a day

[short junco]

yeah but in a month or 2 I will

oo

okay

[upbeat shuttle]

earnings do vary between country though

and everyone's speeds differ

[short junco]

Yeah I see

well thanks

[uncut bluff]

YESSSSS

I was in school

[gleaming shell]

I don't have school today

[uncut bluff]

damn

[gleaming shell]

So i got sgs client to run in the perfect day

[uncut bluff]

Congratulations

[gleaming shell]

Never restating my second laptop now I guess

Also definitely never opening virtualbox again

[gleaming shell]

[green dragon]

uh i wanna see how much stuff it uses compared to mine

cuz mine doesnt use anything

[silver cedar]

[pseudo fog]

[shell temple]

give me bandwidth task

[pseudo fog]

no

[shell temple]

bandwidth gods]

[pseudo fog]

oh

the bandwidth gods?

they stole your jobs unfortunately.

[upbeat shuttle]

I have bribed the Bandwidth Sharing gods

[shell temple]

i had one for like 24 hours plus

then i shut down my pc

[pseudo fog]

@gleaming shell has been waiting since october

so

remember about people that are missing out for months straight

xd

[upbeat shuttle]

oho

Salad just used the Nottingham server, and it got the expected speeds!

[jovial fiber]

ohh :p

[upbeat shuttle]

Salad either fixed it, or it's merely temporarily fixed

[jovial fiber]

i will try when i can start Windows;-;

[uncut bluff]

thats great

[silver cedar]

aw fuck im not getting sgs back lol

200 mbps down and 23 up on libreass

shitty ass clouvider servers

[jovial fiber]

bruh

[silver cedar]

unleeeessss

yeah lets kill salad bowl

[cobalt crystal]

200 down and 23 down

[silver cedar]

rerun libreshit

Oops

its even worse

2 up

this time on speed.riverside.rocks

god I fucking hate librespeed

[frigid reef]

Salad is aware of the troubles chefs are having and are looking into other speed tests they can use

[uncut bluff]

lets goooo

[silver cedar]

ok I might have caught a good server this time

neeeeevermind

[silver mulch]

is there still bandwidth earning on the new version of salad

[silver cedar]

yes

the speedtest is shit as per usual though

[silver mulch]

wdym?

[silver cedar]

it keeps selecting garbage servers to test from

[silver mulch]

oh so just keep waiting

[silver cedar]

well i keep restarting saladbowl in hopes of a good server

hmm is 136 down and 30 up enough

[upbeat shuttle]

oh nice my bandwidth sharing jobs came back within 30m of restarting salad

[silver cedar]

Because You Are Briish

[upbeat shuttle]

truly

[silver cedar]

I am a lowly american

[cobalt crystal]

same

[upbeat shuttle]

unfortunate

[silver cedar]

in wait of good bandwidth jobs

[cobalt crystal]

and im in the ud

us

[upbeat shuttle]

mann it'd be nice if discord let us set nicknames per thread / post

so we could put our country and speeds

maybe

[cobalt crystal]

yea

[silver cedar]

assault with a deadly weapon

[zinc heart]

ngl that shit uses a lot of internet

[silver cedar]

damn this is what I had before the big collapse

[silver mulch]

i just got sgs back and i just started it and im in the usa east coast

[silver cedar]

maybe abusing saladbowl isnt the best idea

i give up for now

[zinc heart]

hmmm

[silver cedar]

well on the bright side my first (and only container job) is a 60c job

this is loss in its greatest form

[zinc heart]

wait

what

ok forget

[zinc heart]

fans with what speed ?

[silver cedar]

what

[zinc heart]

fan speed

of the card

[silver cedar]

No

its not using gpu

[zinc heart]

oh cpu ok ok

[silver cedar]

60 cents

[zinc heart]

i tought you were talking about gpu container

my bad

[silver cedar]

💥

[subtle condor]

fr

[silver cedar]

it appears it was a wise decision to not mess around with it anymore

sgs is back

i guess US users will have a short period of bandwidth prosperity

because jobs are kaboom for a bit

[stiff wedge]

Do I have to restart my pc after updating

There's an option where it says I have to

[silver cedar]

not as far as I know

i didnt have that option

[stiff wedge]

It asks if I wanted to restart my pc or will I restart it myself

What-

[silver cedar]

weird

that didnt appear for me across 4 devices

[stiff wedge]

Yeah I think I have to

Salad boostrapper isn't running

[silver cedar]

huh xmrig isnt mining but vmmem isnt open either

[stiff wedge]

Just restarted, time to do 10000 speed tests

wtf dude usa

this isnt even my ip address

also guys i dont think we have to enable and disable cpu to make sgs client running

as soon as i got a london server instead of nottingham i get a good upload speed

[viscid sleet]

My bandwidth sharing just isn't working

I'm not seeing the sgs-client task in task manager

[stiff wedge]

is upload speed over 10

or 5 if ur in the us

[viscid sleet]

My upload speed is like 300

[stiff wedge]

it must show that in the latest ndm log

[viscid sleet]

where do I find taht ndm log

*that

[stiff wedge]

go in salad app

top left corner

show logs

[viscid sleet]

got it

Those are my last few logs

[stiff wedge]

i dont think your upload speed is 300 mate

are you in the us

[viscid sleet]

yeah

[stiff wedge]

hm

[viscid sleet]

It is 200ish rn. I'll send a speedtest.net screenshot

[stiff wedge]

pause salad, start it again, enable cpu and disable cpu

[stiff wedge]

you have to know that librespeed sucks

lol

[viscid sleet]

librespeed?

[stiff wedge]

yeah

thats what salad uses to test our internet speed

[stiff wedge]

try this

[viscid sleet]

done

still no sgs

ooh

but I am getting xmrig

[stiff wedge]

thats cpu mining thinggy

[viscid sleet]

that's weird tho bc cpu is disabled

also nvidia gpu miner is running

[stiff wedge]

it should be gone after a few sec

[viscid sleet]

alr yeah both are gone

[stiff wedge]

r u in task manager

[viscid sleet]

yep

but also showed in saald

[stiff wedge]

have it open and ndm file open

ok so

sgs client is not here right

[viscid sleet]

open

btw I checked on librespeed website I have 160 upload there

210*

[stiff wedge]

yeah its kinda goofy with salad

[viscid sleet]

it's showing 8 on ndm logs tho

weird asf but ok

[stiff wedge]

ok what u have to do

is force quit salad bowl service

[viscid sleet]

How do I find salad bowl

I only see salad

[viscid sleet]

ok closed salad.bowl

[stiff wedge]

wait for maybe 30 seconds

and then check ndm logs

[viscid sleet]

I close it then check again and it keeps reopening

or ig it jumps out of screen once I force close

[stiff wedge]

if the latest logs doesnt show upload speed over 10 you have to repeat this

[viscid sleet]

do I go to details and shut it down from there?

[stiff wedge]

huh?

it should be opening itself

[viscid sleet]

oh ok

[stiff wedge]

cus its like forcing it to run the speed test again

[viscid sleet]

got it

11 now

11.56

12

[stiff wedge]

perfect

oh

not perfect

wait for a bit more

[viscid sleet]

and download is much higher at 200ish

it was showing 60ish before

[stiff wedge]

until "Upload rate:" pops up

[viscid sleet]

yeah

uploadrate: 11.56

*upload rate:

[stiff wedge]

do this now

it should work

maybe possibly

[viscid sleet]

still not seeing sds

[stiff wedge]

hm

[viscid sleet]

gpu miner is running but I have gpu on

[stiff wedge]

hi nova

i tried my best

[frigid reef]

i am not here

[stiff wedge]

ok

[stiff wedge]

i tried my best if its not running sry about that

upload speed requirement for the us is 5 but it didnt work for you as well

maybe its a salad problem

or just salad being goofy rn

[unborn mason]

you got sgs client?

[unborn mason]

bro i still didnt get mine yet

[full sentinel]

Does the beta not work anymore?\

[unborn mason]

no

[gleaming shell]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

MY SGS CLIENT

EHIEJ38EHR8R3J9RH38HEU

I JUST GOT IT BACK TODAY

WHYYY

IM SO UNLUCKY

HERE GOES ANOTHER SEVERAL MONTHS WITHOUT SGS CLIENT

I WANT TO DECAPITATE SOMEONE RN

anyways might as well download salad 1.1.0

(I probs got the error bc I was still using the beta)

[full sentinel]

I had the same error. I just installed the newest version

[cobalt crystal]

sad

[full sentinel]

Just don't do me

[cobalt crystal]

my things are doing really good after the update

[full sentinel]

Nice

[cobalt crystal]

rip

[gleaming shell]

And I'm not at home so I can't get 1.1.0

Time to see how long I can keep my sanity without salad for an hour or 2

Bro I still want to invert someone's ribs and pour coke into someone's vocal cords

The day I got sgs client to download after several months and then an error occurs bc it's no longer beta

[silver cedar]

if it makes you feel any better, sgs-client started running again really quick once I downloaded 1.1.0

no more 2 week wait

[hollow vortex]

more then 30 speed tests.... smh cant even get over 2mpbs LOL

[gleaming shell]

rip

[hollow vortex]

wonder why salad likes libspeed.

[white knot]

instead of ookla

[pseudo fog]

Me hacking into librespeed and putting 69 gigabit down and 70 gigabit up

[analog patio]

I don't think India will be getting bw anytime soon

[analog patio]

Open source that's why

Maybe

[viscid sleet]

it's alr, I really appreciate the help so thanks

[gleaming shell]

it hasent downloaded for me yet but imma wait overnight to see

[stiff wedge]

Welcome :)

[unique cedar]

na

Ive been using it for like 9 hours since the release of 1.1.0 and it's still going well

[civic fern]

Anyone who managed to get the bandwidth speedtest working_

?

with the new update?

[pulsar arrow]

my bw crashed again

and I had to update to the latest

[civic fern]

i meant for people who couldn't start it up

[pulsar arrow]

and how speedtest doesn't work

[civic fern]

?

[pulsar arrow]

now*

[civic fern]

oh

i'm basically restarting salad bowl service every time

best upload speed i've got is 7mbps

reaching 10 is an absolute pain

this shit is stochastic, not deterministic

[pulsar arrow]

I'm going back to beta 2

which works

[civic fern]

didn't they disable those versions?

[pulsar arrow]

I don't know

I don't know why Amsterdam servers are so bad rn

it wasn't before

it was fine in beta 2

beta 3 and after ruins speedtest

[civic fern]

i still have to understand why the speedtest stops uploading data before the test is over

[pulsar arrow]

only on the upload

[civic fern]

it is absolutely atrocious

[pulsar arrow]

definitely salads fault

not libre

[civic fern]

people say libre is shit, i don't believe that the mistake in on libre's side though

their system works flawlessly

[pulsar arrow]

because it works in beta 2

try beta 2

[civic fern]

send me your librespeed-cli.exe from salad's folder lol

[pulsar arrow]

I'm going back

[civic fern]

oh, let me try

no access to containers tho

1.0.9 beta 2 right?

[pulsar arrow]

https://librespeed.org/results/?id=0j5pg0b

see its fine

[civic fern]

send me the link please

[pulsar arrow]

beta 2 in the #announcements channel

[civic fern]

i have it downloaded already

[pulsar arrow]

#announcements message

ok

[civic fern]

i meant the website

also no, the speedtest gives me the same problems on beta 2

[pulsar arrow]

oh nvm ffs

it sucks on beta 2 aswell

[civic fern]

go even further back?

[pulsar arrow]

oh wait

lol

i didnt install beta

[civic fern]

ah

[pulsar arrow]

i was stuck on the next option

[civic fern]

lol

[pulsar arrow]

yeo

beta 2 works

[civic fern]

YOOOO

1.0.8 WORKED FLAWLESSLY

80mbps DOWNLOAD and 20mbps UPLOAD

[pulsar arrow]

ye

[civic fern]

but will it download sgs-client now?

how much time does that typically take?

[pulsar arrow]

i dont know

mines already done

i installed beta 2 over the public release

[unique cedar]

@civic fern what works for me is keep restarting pc until it gets another server. It's on Frankfurt rn

and disable startup apps that need internet like discord when doing so
