Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[civic fern]

I've managed to get it working on salad 1.0.8

[unique cedar]

(better choice than killing salad bowl)

[civic fern]

Lemme try restarting rn

To see if it downloads sgs-client

[unique cedar]

I'm still using beta 3

[civic fern]

Oh yeah, now i understand why it worked

The test was done in germany

I wish i could personally choose my server

[unique cedar]

yeah

it's a bit a waste of time restarting till you get the good one

but gotta do that

[civic fern]

Then it makes me wonder... Why does germany work flawlessly

But italy just... Dies during upload

BUT, on librespeed's website, it works flawlessly

I already made a report for salad's support

They already answered me, but i really hope they fix this mess

words have no meaning, but actions do

[pulsar arrow]

and my sgs client is back

[civic fern]

:c

is there a way i can force a server change?

[pulsar arrow]

I don't know

just try beta 2

wait for a few hours

sgs has to recognize demand

it's so slow

[civic fern]

no, no, it doesn't

oh

wait

sgs lol

i meant librespeed

[pulsar arrow]

ye

[civic fern]

i've noticed that it fails on italian servers. But not on germany ones

that's why i wanted it to force change the server

[pulsar arrow]

well it worked once didn't it

[civic fern]

i could use a vpn buuuuuut...

[civic fern]

because it went on germany servers for whatever reason

[pulsar arrow]

try restarting until you get a better server

[pulsar arrow]

whyd u restart after that

[civic fern]

imagine a server distant more than 1000 kms, having better ping than a server that is IN YOUR CITY

[civic fern]

bcs i wasn't sure :c

[pulsar arrow]

a

only way is to keep restarting

ig

but everyone who has a librespeed issue, try installing beta 2

[civic fern]

nothing changed

[pulsar arrow]

no need to uninstall the version your currently on

[civic fern]

gives the same problems for me at least

[pulsar arrow]

download from here

[pulsar arrow]

ye but might help others

[civic fern]

yeeee

i hope

i don't think i can use a vpn for the speedtest

bcs that would invalidate the speedtest

the problem is that i can't keep resetting saladbowl just because i want that 1/100 change of getting frankfurt server

i can guess you know how tedious that is

@pulsar arrow nvm just got frankfurt server again

now i just let this run as long as possible

[analog patio]

When bw is enabled do i need to click the start button or its working in background

[civic fern]

you still need to click the start button

[analog patio]

When bw is enabled do i need to click the start button or its working in background

[kindred helm]

you still need to click the start button

[civic fern]

...

i think his discord gliched for a moment

and resent the message?

[modern panther]

are you good

[pulsar arrow]

ayy nice

I've yet to get sgs client actually earn me anything

[civic fern]

the problem is that there is no thoughput in italy

doesn't matter how long the sgs-client runs for

[zealous hull]

How much on average does badwith boost our earning

[analog patio]

No

What if i don't have bandwith in my country

I taught my friend from uk and now he wil give me 20% of his earnings

[pulsar arrow]

damn you tricked your friend good

[modern panther]

lmao

[civic fern]

With 0 throughput... Around... 0.50$

[pulsar arrow]

only in testnet regions ^

[safe loom]

1.1 fixed my bandwidth sharing

well not exactly

but like

enough to get over the 5mbps limit

[naive lava]

where 1.0.9 💀

[safe loom]

1.0.9 was beta

and now is non functional with containers

[naive lava]

🤦 and after beta should come 1.0.9

[safe loom]

no

[naive lava]

the full 1.0.9

[safe loom]

1.0.9 was the beta release

[naive lava]

of 1.0.9

[safe loom]

no

[naive lava]

yes

[safe loom]

of 1.0

[naive lava]

wut

[upbeat shuttle]

hi gamers

anything happen

[safe loom]

1.0.9 was the version number for a series of public betas, 1.1.0 is the cool update we ahd been waiting for

[naive lava]

im confused why did they skip 1.0.9?

[safe loom]

with any bandwidth problems? no

[upbeat shuttle]

they didn't

[safe loom]

because that was the beta

[naive lava]

1.0.9 should've been the next full release

[upbeat shuttle]

well they probably didn't release it as '1.0.9 but full' because that would've been super confusing

[naive lava]

all this was the beta of it

[naive lava]

eh

[safe loom]

no

the version number already indicated that the betas were apart of 1.0.9

[upbeat shuttle]

it's much easier to know that someone is on the latest version if they say 1.1.0

[safe loom]

otherwise it would have been 1.0.8 beta1/2/3

[frigid reef]

at the end of the day does it really matter what version number they use

[safe loom]

the cool kids got alpha

[upbeat shuttle]

not at all :)

[safe loom]

to dino it seems to

[chilly peak]

salad doesnt follow semantic versioning anyways

so who cares

[naive lava]

but it confusing

[safe loom]

0.4, 0.5, 0.5.1-8, 1.0

[naive lava]

hm ok

[chilly peak]

Major.Minor.Patch

[naive lava]

tf is taking an hr for this 1gb file 💀

[upbeat shuttle]

they had many more versions than that but ok

[naive lava]

ehm i hope my issue has been fixed in that

|:

[modern panther]

your internet

[naive lava]

50 mbps

[modern panther]

is ass

[civic fern]

Are there actual bandwidth jobs on italy?

[frigid reef]

indeed, oldest one on the github is 0.2.2

[civic fern]

all i get is 0 bidirectional throughput

[modern panther]

ok

[civic fern]

[safe loom]

yes but

[frigid reef]

just wait

[civic fern]

i did wait... for days

[safe loom]

they jumped from 0.5.8 to 1.0 is my point

[naive lava]

0.2.2 og?

[frigid reef]

ok, wait more

[civic fern]

lol

[safe loom]

no one complained about the missing 0.6 0.7 0.8 and 0.9

[safe loom]

doesnt run anymore does it?

[naive lava]

stoopid

[chilly peak]

i think it does

[safe loom]

most of the versions have the "Your salad is too old!" screen

[frigid reef]

they was too busy complaining about the ui changes

[frigid reef]

no

[chilly peak]

oh

[frigid reef]

[chilly peak]

i see

oh right

very old versions had that

design

[safe loom]

me who just clicked update in salad

[naive lava]

wait what

hold on

that button exists?

[chilly peak]

most people who got a js error from salad trying to download the update automatically:

[naive lava]

u don't need to uninstall the old version???

[safe loom]

i didnt 😊

[safe loom]

no???

salad overwrites its folders

[naive lava]

tf is official support drunk then?

[safe loom]

no? why?

[naive lava]

cuz they suggest uninstalling the old versions first, then installing the new one

[chilly peak]

well thats just to clean install

just to prevent issues

[safe loom]

the update from 1.0.9 to 1.1 is as simple as hoping your salad works and auto updates, or just installing 1.1

[safe loom]

^

[modern panther]

yeah

[naive lava]

hm

ok

[naive lava]

oh where is it?

[safe loom]

if you're talking to official support, chances are that you have issues

[naive lava]

I DO have issues

[modern panther]

idk it appeared out of nowhere for me and i clicked it

[safe loom]

it shows up as a notification

[chilly peak]

you get a notification

[modern panther]

yes

[chilly peak]

just ignore my custom text

from my custom version of the beta

[safe loom]

like this but without jovann making fun of himself

[chilly peak]

which i now need to modify 1.1.0

[naive lava]

rip

[naive lava]

i c

[safe loom]

or\

just dont

[naive lava]

fk my luck

[chilly peak]

i took hours to do that because i kept finding the same strings in random files

so i changed all of them

which now that i realize

i could've done find and replace

[safe loom]

it does the same as downloading and installing, it just runs it automatically

[chilly peak]

and not spend hours

im stupid

[safe loom]

good work

[chilly peak]

and this is bandwidth sharing thread

[naive lava]

xddd

[chilly peak]

so i will bonk myself and get out

and work on salad sim

[naive lava]

im getting impatient

[safe loom]

get faster internet

[naive lava]

50 fricking mbps

[safe loom]

MBps or mbps

[true halo]

should be too dificult

[naive lava]

should've done the work in mins

[naive lava]

MBps

[safe loom]

so 400ish mbps

[naive lava]

eh whatever

[true halo]

MB/s or mbps, that's how i usually put it.

[safe loom]

MB is megabytes mb is megabits

[true halo]

MB/s (megabytes per second
mbps (megabits per second)

[safe loom]

internet is measured in megabits

[naive lava]

^ but mbps actually means mega bits pers sec

[true halo]

yea

[naive lava]

though idc

[naive lava]

right

[safe loom]

atleast its not in mebbibytes

that would make life easier

[naive lava]

the what

[true halo]

ii downloaded it in 20 seconds on 600mbit, i don't think they have 400mbit

either that or they're on wifi

[safe loom]

mebbibyte is a megabyte but its value is 1000

and not 1024

[safe loom]

same

[true halo]

i think they have 50mbit

[naive lava]

how long does this take to download welp

why is it taking so long this time

[safe loom]

depends on your speed

but according to edge

[naive lava]

took 5 mins before

[safe loom]

~20 mins

[naive lava]

now 30 mins

[true halo]

run a speedtest on google (just search "google speedtest") and send the download result.

[naive lava]

google's?

[true halo]

yea

[naive lava]

k

[safe loom]

or oakla's speedtest

[naive lava]

ookla is better

i get low in google's one smh

[true halo]

well hide your IP address then

[naive lava]

how? VPN?

[true halo]

or click the share button at the end then copy link

[true halo]

no

Just... don't tell us it

[naive lava]

da f new delhi

[naive lava]

i c

[safe loom]

my speeds while bandwidth sharing

[true halo]

On the device that salad is downloading on, do a speedtest on ookla, pause the download tho

[naive lava]

hehaw

[safe loom]

so 50/50

[naive lava]

yeh kinda

although it used to be higher

like 58

but smh drops

[safe loom]

yes most isps cap it in the ~10mbps range from the plan

except mine lets me hit 900 from my 350mps plan

[naive lava]

i c, they had almost 10 MB/s more than what they were promising

[naive lava]

oh great

power cut

[modern panther]

ok

[upbeat shuttle]

I really wish they'd just download cuda afterwards

[naive lava]

ok

[naive lava]

what's cuda?

[upbeat shuttle]

I consider this as just being lazy programming honestly

[upbeat shuttle]

the thing that's required for most GPU container workloads

[naive lava]

OH I REMEMBER

[safe loom]

they can too

[upbeat shuttle]

the issue is that not everyone's gonna be running GPU containers..

[naive lava]

it's something that nvidia has it too right

[upbeat shuttle]

so it's actually stupid to force everyone to download cuda

[safe loom]

theres an online installer that you can package in

[upbeat shuttle]

it's a waste of bandwidth and storage

[safe loom]

its only a couple hundred mb

[modern panther]

ok

[naive lava]

hm

yeh

[safe loom]

it should be a requisite downloaded when enabled

[naive lava]

but i don't mind cuz I've got unlimited bandwidth and nais storage (more than 700 gb free rn)

[safe loom]

tf is a nais

[upbeat shuttle]

there should just be a lil popup or option in the settings that tells the user that Salad needs to install "more ingredients" or even just say "cuda" and "wsl"

[naive lava]

nice*

that's how i say it usually

[safe loom]

that still doesnt help

[naive lava]

hmm could've suggested this idea before the release 💀

[chilly peak]

bully suggest it to ericka

[upbeat shuttle]

i'm going to go insane if they haven't thought of this already

I'll ask

[naive lava]

gud

[safe loom]

ill bet they havent

and if they did

"we're focused on x"

[naive lava]

although suggestions are welcome :shrugs:

[upbeat shuttle]

you seen the size of their dev team

[safe loom]

REAL

[naive lava]

smol

nvm

[upbeat shuttle]

compared to like a year ago there's much more people

[naive lava]

how many tho?

[safe loom]

at the start of 2022 there were 17 employees by the end there were 39

[naive lava]

oh

how do u know that?

[chilly peak]

their website

[safe loom]

salad told us

[naive lava]

i c

[safe loom]

in their 2022 blog

[chilly peak]

and that

[safe loom]

you can also check on their about us page

they list employees there

[low helm]

Since 1.1 version, i just cannot manage to run sgs anymore

[true hemlock]

my earnings haven't dropped somehow

[low helm]

LMAO

[true hemlock]

earning the same 60 cents

and I have a 3217u 😂😂

[low helm]

Just spamming that running and pause button made it work

[pulsar arrow]

hey @upbeat shuttle did the new version work for yo

you

i mean as in the librespeed test

[true hemlock]

damn

[upbeat shuttle]

I haven't updated my Bandwidth Sharing laptop to 1.1.0 yet, still on 1.0.8 because I hate auto start and don't want it ever interfering with my bandwidth.
Though I did notice that the speed test worked as it should on one of my 1.1.0 PCs

it even used the Nottingham server, which has been a pain for us before

[pulsar arrow]

oh

my bandwidth has been dying for the past two days

[upbeat shuttle]

though I don't think the version of Salad makes really any difference as to how the test performs

[pulsar arrow]

beta 2 is the only one that doesnt slow down midway for me

beta 3 and the recently released one drops down to 3mbps after 5 seconds

like that

meanwhile beta 2 is stable for the most part

[upbeat shuttle]

both using the same server?

[silver cedar]

too bad no containers on beta 2

[stiff wedge]

I get better upload with London server

Nottingham is the worst

It went from 20 to 2 :skull:

[mighty fractal]

in italy it is not starting

[analog patio]

How to know if i got a bandwith job or no

[mighty fractal]

what does this mean?

[analog patio]

thin as f

[mighty fractal]

i know

[upbeat shuttle]

check the pinned FAQs

[analog patio]

um

[upbeat shuttle]

basically all of that is unimportant, other than 'BidirThroughput', which is how much bandwidth you're sharing

[mighty fractal]

it says 0

so i just need to wait?

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

[analog patio]

Sup

Bloxy

Bro i can't jump to them messages

😢

[upbeat shuttle]

?

[analog patio]

I'm clicking them i can't jump to the messages

Sadly

[midnight crescent]

Oh

[analog patio]

Mobile bug sometimes

Hu

[civic fern]

Alright uh... italian benchmark is fucked i guess

when it connects to frankfurt for whatever reason, it managed to execute it flawlessly

[peak terrace]

i am sticking to 1.0.9 beta 2

[mighty fractal]

go to dms

[green dragon]

with portmaster how do i tell how much bandwith sgs is using

in total

[upbeat shuttle]

I haven't personally tried it out yet, your best bet is probably to just google it

or alternatively, bing it

[upbeat shuttle]

honestly might start saying bing it more than google it, since it's got that AI stuff now

[shrewd terrace]

Is bandwidth global?

[upbeat shuttle]

no

[shrewd terrace]

OKokok

[green dragon]

what ai stuff haha

[civic fern]

ChatGPT?

[green dragon]

which one do u use

what app

[mighty fractal]

yess but the max is 8 things and you need to restart

[upbeat shuttle]

I still use glasswire just because I haven't had enough time to switch over to something better

[green dragon]

o

[upbeat shuttle]

hm that should still be more than enough for most searches

[civic fern]

Does your glasswire break when salad tries to download container-related stuff?

[upbeat shuttle]

idk, I don't use glasswire on my container PCs

[civic fern]

Fair

[mighty fractal]

it works

i have it

[jovial fiber]

'-'

i'm gonna cry

[pulsar arrow]

i got libre speed working on

salad

the latest one

!!

[upbeat shuttle]

!!!

[jovial fiber]

latest one ?

[pulsar arrow]

but no bandwidth being used :(

yes

[tacit sage]

does bandwith work in the background even if you are using your computer or only when idle/manually started salad? the wording is a bit confusing

[jovial fiber]

yes background

ah nevermind

idk

[tacit sage]

i have a fuck ton of bandwith so i would actually not mind it going off then

[jovial fiber]

x)

[tacit sage]

guess it can be a feature request

[jovial fiber]

just start manually

it will work in background

[tacit sage]

thing is it starts containers and gpu mining and i will keep forgetting to turn them on after

[zealous hull]

why have earnings dropped so much

[green dragon]

ong

[idle wing]

i don't know if this is actually true but while looking at task manager (when salad starts) it seems like sgs-client.exe is able to start when xmrig.exe is still there

[still tendon]

it works even if you're using your computer at the same time, and it most of the time won't affect your earnings much

[tacit sage]

i mean like

it auto activates

even if you are using your pc

and it still gives some earnings

for someone like me thaat is like most of the time on the computer

and maybe takes a small breeak for 1 cent it helps

[hollow vortex]

i tested my net connection on all there servers. they actually suck.

[chilly peak]

its the servers that are the issue

im sure the program itself is completely fine

its open source

[hollow vortex]

im sure

[mighty fractal]

still no workloads

[civic fern]

Yes but no

I can't pinpoint the problem

[safe loom]

le bandwidth pogger

[gleaming shell]

Bruh I lost my sgs client bc of an error yesterday

And I just got it back after several months yesterday

And now I probs gotta wait a very long time again

[safe loom]

L?

[white knot]

hi u just got a guy with a similar situation

[safe loom]

L us users

W aus users

[white knot]

yes and also hi\

[gleaming shell]

I got so unlucky tho
The day sgs client downloaded and ran after several months without it and then I get an error

[idle wing]

happened to me today too

dw

nevermind i take that statement back

it is back now

[gleaming shell]

Happened to me yesterday

[idle wing]

well i don't but like it's back already

[gleaming shell]

Haven't seen it ever since

I guess I'm living off with 1 normal paying container and nonexistent bandwidth again

[peak terrace]

you are not coping hard enough, cope more and they will come

in other words there is no way for anyone to know when they will get workloads

unless you're a bri'ish lad in which case it's free real estate

[green dragon]

👍🏻

same

[pulsar arrow]

I've gotten 0 jobs on bandwidth

UK demand falling

[green dragon]

same

my bandwith broke

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

its normally supposed to be at the top

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/858033058623127552.webp?size=48

[frigid reef]

its not broke, you just gotta wait for jobs

[green dragon]

yes

[true halo]

how do i see how much bandwidth it's using at one time?

[peak terrace]

stealing jobs

[gleaming wraith]

in the UK, what's the average bandwidth consumption per day for example

per 24 hours

[frigid reef]

really depends on your internet speeds

[gleaming wraith]

let's say minimum 100

[uncut bluff]

way more than the us thats for sure

[gleaming wraith]

both ways

[frigid reef]

well idk, no way of gussing really

[gleaming wraith]

well can someone give me like a graph if they used glasswire to monitor bandwidth usage

[frigid reef]

but at times i had a whole day with my bandwidth being basically 95% used for a full day

[upbeat shuttle]

wtf salad died while trying to update to 1.1.0 again

stupid app

[uncut bluff]

bruh

[upbeat shuttle]

i'm actually getting tired of having to babysit all 3 of my PCs every day because this app is less stable than dyno or yag

[uncut bluff]

sometimes auto start randomly makes my cpu container stop at like 4 am

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd love to tell you, but glasswire decided to auto update and paywall seeing anything beyond the past 24 hours' usage

[uncut bluff]

i just wanna disable it

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm gonna switch over to the one that Jovann recommended

[uncut bluff]

bruhhhhh

[gleaming wraith]

show me the 24 hour one

[upbeat shuttle]

auto start is a plague on humanity and needs to be destroyed

[uncut bluff]

yes

[peak terrace]

currently on an average of about 400gb a day

[pulsar arrow]

cri

[gleaming wraith]

and how much did u make

[upbeat shuttle]

am I blind or is 'force block device-local connections' not in the settings?

[chilly peak]

blind

search for it

[frigid reef]

defo blind

||what are we talking about||

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm setting up portmaster now, since I've had enough of glasswire

[frigid reef]

awww but dont you want to pay for dark mode

[upbeat shuttle]

absolute pain

dark mode and up to 7 day history was available, and then they restricted that with an update

actual money hungry twats

[uncut bluff]

you have to pay for dark mode?

[upbeat shuttle]

yep

[uncut bluff]

that's bullshit

[green dragon]

damn

[green dragon]

tell me if u find out how to see all time bandwith consumption pls

[upbeat shuttle]

on what

[green dragon]

portmaster

cuz i can only see like a graph for 10 minute

yay i got a job

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm still figuring it out myself heh

[green dragon]

yeah its confusing

[upbeat shuttle]

aha it's in the advanced interface, though 'force block device-local connections' was disabled by default anyways

[green dragon]

the thing about portmaster is u can only see connections and only from 10 minutes

which sucks

cuz the app is so good

[white knot]

crying here and as always

[green dragon]

tell me if u find anything i should enable pls

[pulsar arrow]

sgs client has started pulling 10mbps

oh and I got librespeed to work on two laptops

it seems to be a specific server issue

and not salads fault

I was wrong

[chilly peak]

i see

[peak terrace]

this is with a container running as well

that dip in earnings towards the left side of the graph is without a container

[green dragon]

lucky

wtf

when was this

[subtle condor]

my pc crashed earlier so I lost my bandwidth queue 😭

[green dragon]

lol

i get bandwith jobs instantly im pretty sure

[upbeat shuttle]

just had an idea for how to delay Salad's startup bandwidth speed test

just unplug your ethernet / turn off your wifi on startup

[green dragon]

or maybe turn salad off on startup

if that does something

[upbeat shuttle]

I think it still runs the test anyways

[green dragon]

o

[upbeat shuttle]

though I'm not certain

I could be wrong

I want to be wrong

[green dragon]

it shouldnt be able to

ozua do u like portmaster more than glasswire

[upbeat shuttle]

no

i think it just caused my laptop to BSOD 5 times in total

I've uninstalled it since and no BSOD yet

[green dragon]

so glasswire is better

for u

[upbeat shuttle]

I want to kill both of them

[green dragon]

💀

explain

[upbeat shuttle]

seems like portmaster doesn't log beyond 10m of usage so I guess even glasswire slightly wins

[green dragon]

yes thats the thing i dont like

and it doesnt say total usage for each app

which i dont like even more

but glasswire doesnt recognise sgs

and idk how to make it

recognise

what if i get crack glasswire premium

[upbeat shuttle]

mmm

no comment

[green dragon]

lol

its by crackshash

and hes sus

so no

[upbeat shuttle]

idk if glasswire is on the level of adobe or nintendo y'know

[green dragon]

💀

[upbeat shuttle]

anywayss

I think I've fixed the BSOD, haven't had one in a while

[green dragon]

OH YEAH

[upbeat shuttle]

also I think I just got bandwidth sharing jobs within 10 minutes of starting :D

[green dragon]

I GOT THOSE LIKE TWICE

[upbeat shuttle]

you got a BSOD too?

[green dragon]

ye 2

idk if it was because of portmaster or wtv

if ur right they should stop

[upbeat shuttle]

also I think portmaster might've been interfering with my jobs, because I got none for all the time that I was running Salad with portmaster, but now I just got jobs within 10m

[green dragon]

sgs client isnt hereeeee

gr

noooooo where did the dark mode go

[upbeat shuttle]

oh my god

they paywalled seeing all of the alerts

[green dragon]

lmaoooo

ozua how do i see sgs on glasswire

lmaoo

im so smart

[short junco]

When will it come to other countries!

[upbeat shuttle]

(found by heading to the pinned messages -> jumping to the pinned FAQs post)

[green dragon]

i found a better app

Netlimiter

it does portmasters graph

and it shows total

[upbeat shuttle]

but does it BSOD your PC for no reason?

[green dragon]

it hasnt within 5 minutes

[peak terrace]

you responding to my screenshot?

[green dragon]

yes

what day

[green dragon]

i will tell if it does

[peak terrace]

today at the time of sending that message

[green dragon]

oh damn

i made like 20p today

[green dragon]

he isnt white but hes the closest we could get

[peak terrace]

neopolitan ice cream

[green dragon]

right sorry wrong chat

[green dragon]

exactly

[peak terrace]

was gonna say

[upbeat shuttle]

you know what

[green dragon]

i dont think i have a bandwith job

aughhhhh

[peak terrace]

propane and propane accessories

[shadow ivy]

mine gets 900

[kindred helm]

plot twist: that is one of those slime foods

[shadow ivy]

900 download upload 50

[green dragon]

ethernet?

[gleaming shell]

the good ol days

[gleaming shell]

here goes the last spike of bandwidth earnings

(on the left btw)

[jovial fiber]

now that i have reinstalled windows and that the speedtest seems to be fixed, i hope i will get sgs client ;-;

[cobalt crystal]

imagine having issues with sgs client

[jovial fiber]

;-;

WAIT

how do i disable bandwidth sharing in the new version ?

[uncut bluff]

go to the preference thingy

and set maximize earnings to the other option

[jovial fiber]

but that doesn't disable it ?

[pulsar arrow]

I hope it stabilises

probably not, since those Earnings are way too high to sustain

[uncut bluff]

yeah it does?

it disables bandwidth sharing

[pulsar arrow]

essentials only as in only what's needed

like downloads and stuff

not bandwith

[uncut bluff]

maximize earnings = bandwidth sharing on
essentials only = bandwidth sharing off

[uncut bluff]

^^^

[jovial fiber]

ohh

ok

that's a strange name

[pulsar arrow]

I agree

As long as it's set to maximise earnings on default it's fine ig

[uncut bluff]

yes

[shadow ivy]

when u have to wait that long to get bandwidth to work

the little spike at 12:30 was cpu container

i was testing

[gleaming shell]

slowly starting to lose my sanity

[silver cedar]

lol I'm down to 70c a day

which is a little over a third of what I was making before

so hopefully I can get a second and third container again

it looks like I have bandwidth sharing working since there are the usual funny spikes though

maybe I'll get the funny random container job in the middle of the night which is what usually happened

[gleaming shell]

lol im slowly going insane again

[pseudo fog]

Atleast you got sgs client

And atleast you tried, thats what matters

[gleaming shell]

only for less than a day tho lol\

i uninstalled salad to get the latest version and my sgs is gone

[pseudo fog]

oh

[gleaming shell]

probs have to wait another several days lol

[pseudo fog]

Everything is messing us up huh

People lost jobs cuz update

I lost job cuz windows self update

I hate march.

I hate 2023 as a matter of fact

January was the worst

[unique cedar]

at least it's stable for u

it's dropping hard for me

cpu container and bw sharing^

[shadow ivy]

yooo bandwidth started working instantly

salad 1.1 litty

https://tenor.com/view/pipis-jerma-deltarune-spamton-gif-23350414

[naive lava]

um that IP...

[modern panther]

what?

[frigid reef]

What about it?

[naive lava]

nthing

[frigid reef]

It’s the ip of the uk bandwidth gateway

[naive lava]

yeh i thought it was his

nvm

[opal echo]

where do you check this

[silver cedar]

LMFAO MY WISH BECAME TRUE

back to nearly the same amount I was making

[upbeat shuttle]

^^

[near karma]

yesterday i thought my bandwidth sharing finally started to work but i might have been mistaken

since i might have simply been running a container

i was getting 6 cents per 15 minutes

so idk

[near karma]

how tf do u get that

i wanna know whats up with my bandwidth

[modern panther]

cause u an american

[near karma]

no

im bri'ish

[modern panther]

what your intrenrte speed

im libre cli speed logs

logs then ndm

show latest

[near karma]

kk

[modern panther]

ok

since ur upload speed is not as fast as ur upload u may need to wait longer for a job because both mater

[near karma]

bro

[upbeat shuttle]

That shouldn't be the issue

[near karma]

upload not as fast as upload?

[near karma]

and also yeah

67 upload is pretty damn good

[modern panther]

shut up ignore that

[near karma]

tbh

[upbeat shuttle]

My speeds are 150/25, which is just as bad of a difference as their speeds, and my Bandwidth Sharing works perfectly fine

[modern panther]

ok

[near karma]

do you think its my malwarebytes blocking something

i remember seeing librespeed n stuff like that blocked when i ran salad for the first time

[upbeat shuttle]

might be a good idea to make sure that you've at least got Salad's workloads folder whitelisted

[near karma]

?

its been like that for ages now

[upbeat shuttle]

hm that should be good

[upbeat shuttle]

uhhh 6 cents per 15 minutes sounds quite like bandwidth sharing earnings to me

is Salad using your bandwidth? more specifically, sgs-client.exe

[near karma]

how can i tell

if it is

[upbeat shuttle]

Task Manager

[near karma]

?

its running

but i cant tell if its using anything

[upbeat shuttle]

head to the uhhhh

Processes tab

the first one, I think

[near karma]

correct

then?

[upbeat shuttle]

you look for sgs-client

[near karma]

yeah its not using it

network

right?

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

[near karma]

nothing

[upbeat shuttle]

I could check if you're getting / have gotten any bandwidth sharing jobs if you wanna send your latest logs from C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\Bandwidth-SGS-UK\

[near karma]

most recent one

a new one just popped up now

[upbeat shuttle]

hm well I can see that you haven't gotten any jobs in the past ~30 minutes

though nothing looks to be wrong

You could check that your IP quality rating is good (below like 80 at most), and make sure that it's a residential IP here ^^
also ofc make sure that you're not using a VPN

though if none of those are the case, it could just be that you've gotta wait to receive some jobs :)

In the past, I've had to wait up to a couple of hours before my earnings started ramping up

[pulsar arrow]

yes it might be just a matter of time

I've got less stable but higher than normal paying jobs rn

and it to me a whole day to get them

[fossil hinge]

Me chilling with $0

[near karma]

fraud score is 0 and yes it is residential

[graceful pendant]

wow

[safe loom]

jared and jerma look alike tbh

[chilly peak]

fr tho

@hollow whale are you jerma

[safe loom]

he’s imposter 😤

sussy

[idle wing]

don't know if this has happened to anyone else but sgs-client has randomly stopped twice for me today. Checked the logs and it literally just randomly stopped

no error msg

[near karma]

still aint working

its not even giving me 0.0001

its just nothing

there is no "ramping up"

or anything

[jovial fiber]

where do you find this in the log ?

[idle wing]

C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\Bandwidth-SGS-US

for us

[jovial fiber]

ahhh i don't have the folder

[idle wing]

might be different if you are in another country

-> C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs then look for a folder that starts with bandwidth

[jovial fiber]

i don't have sgs client yet

[near karma]

does bandwidth sharing pay like 2 cents per 15 mins

i swear it used to be like 6 or 7

just yesterday

[upbeat shuttle]

jobs and the pay per gb fluctuates

[analog patio]

Oh god

I'm rich

[near karma]

YESSS

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

now i can get like another 70 cents if i leave this on

for like

3 hours

its going higher than 6 cents

its going to 8

yoo

if i keep that up for 3 hours thats like a dollar

[gleaming shell]

damn lucky

[near karma]

salad is so sexy

wtffff

[gleaming shell]

yes

salad>>>

the salad salad>>>

[near karma]

0.0837 per 15m

sexy

[gleaming shell]

damn thats actually very good earnings

bandwidth isnt looking too good for me

[gleaming shell]

would be painful if ur pc crashed, restarted or salad broke (like what happened to me)

[pulsar arrow]

never doubt salad

oh yeah gotta change my nick

11tb!

[near karma]

haha

[near karma]

what

11tb speeds?

tf

[pulsar arrow]

shared

[gleaming shell]

i think its 11tb of usage

[pulsar arrow]

11tb shared

[near karma]

ohhh

how do u know

i dont get it

[pulsar arrow]

well

windows data usage

centre

also glasswire

[near karma]

glasswire is paid

[pulsar arrow]

yes

[near karma]

screw that

[pulsar arrow]

but i keep a count

a rough count

[gleaming shell]

only ~11gb shared here bc sgs died due to broken salad
1.5 days of uptime rn and i havent seen sgs client ever since

[pulsar arrow]

i get 400gbs a day

4 days its a terrabyte

[near karma]

damnnn

how much do u make

a day

on salad

[pulsar arrow]

less than you

[gleaming shell]

can only hope its not 4 months

[pulsar arrow]

0.037 per 15min

i wish i had better uploads

[gleaming shell]

i wish my sgs client would download

but US moment

[pulsar arrow]

[gleaming shell]

anyways im hoping i dont have to suffer for another several months

i might have to
but hopefully not

[narrow tiger]

thtas good

[pulsar arrow]

true

[jovial fiber]

what's ur speeds ?

[pulsar arrow]

132/25

[jovial fiber]

'-'

i have 230/10-15

;-;

[pulsar arrow]

what country you i

in

[jovial fiber]

France

[pulsar arrow]

i thnk the eu has like a fibre rollout program

[jovial fiber]

yeah

but i use 5g

[pulsar arrow]

you should get better speeds soon ™️

[pulsar arrow]

that explains why

[narrow tiger]

whoa whoa whoa what abiut your cats

[pulsar arrow]

my 5g uploads suck aswell

[narrow tiger]

their dying

quick save them

[pulsar arrow]

theyre fed

[narrow tiger]

oh

[pulsar arrow]

thats not my cat

[narrow tiger]

lmfao

the sticker name

[pulsar arrow]

[jovial fiber]

if only my carrier got a 3,5Ghz antenna near me, there is only 5g that is 4g boosted

[pulsar arrow]

ive got a tower near my property but

its trash

[narrow tiger]

4g is better than 5g

[pulsar arrow]

download is good tho

900 down

[narrow tiger]

yup they are lucky

[pulsar arrow]

but only 20 up

[jovial fiber]

not for upload

[narrow tiger]

cap

[pulsar arrow]

they have asymetrical speeds

just like my broadband

typical british household moment

[narrow tiger]

i dont get it

im in us

[jovial fiber]

if go outdoor in the street i have at least 200/200

;-;

[pulsar arrow]

my upload is far slower than my download

[pulsar arrow]

yeah, ur phone cant send signals strong enough

but the tower can

and hence ur phone signals cant pass through your walls

very well

[jovial fiber]

ahhhhhh

[pulsar arrow]

try putting your phone outsid-

[jovial fiber]

;-;

wait

actually

[pulsar arrow]

wrap it in plastic 💀

[jovial fiber]

bruh

[pulsar arrow]

i think u can get a cell booster

like an antenna

u can put on your roof or your window

and itll act as a relay

but idk much about it

[jovial fiber]

in any case i have only 210gb monthly so

[pulsar arrow]

oh

well at those speeds salad will still consume 100gb+ if it runs all day

mine consumes about 350-400 a day

[jovial fiber]

😔

well technically it's unlimited but after 210go it's caped to 1mbps

[pulsar arrow]

do u not have broadband

like cable

or fibre

[near karma]

my success was shortlivwd

[gleaming shell]

rip

still got bandwidth tho i guess

[pulsar arrow]

wait for it

look at my graph

it might rebound

[gleaming shell]

look at my disappointing graph

literally surviving off 1 medium-paying container and no bandwidth

[near karma]

very short lived.

its just completely stopped

[pulsar arrow]

trust me u prob just finished a job

keep it running

[jovial fiber]

it's cheaper

to have only mobile

20$/month for 210go

[pulsar arrow]

that is... expensive for mobile

atleast for me

[jovial fiber]

i only need that technically

[pulsar arrow]

i get unlim for 15

[jovial fiber]

'-'

[pulsar arrow]

well, when bandwidth gets better in france

you can get broadband

[jovial fiber]

in France that's competitive (idk if it's the right word)

[pulsar arrow]

and pay for it with salad

[pulsar arrow]

ye i understand

theres so many providers here the price is cheap

but i only need like 60gb a month so i get a 10 pound plan

[jovial fiber]

in fact no carrier sell unlimited mobile data plan in France "-"

[pulsar arrow]

broadband should be unlimited

oh mobile

[jovial fiber]

yeah i edited

[pulsar arrow]

yeah ig most people dont use 200+gbs a month

[jovial fiber]

😅

[pulsar arrow]

i do too lol

back before i moved to england

my country didnt have cheap broaband

i used a 500gigs a month

anyhoo

i hope things get better

gtg now

bye

[jovial fiber]

bye ;o

[modern panther]

glasswire

[narrow tiger]

wait wrong channel

bruh

[gleaming shell]

BRO MY SALAD RANDOMLY PAUSED AND NOW IM PROBS AT THE BACK OF THE NONEXISTENT QUEUE FOR BANDWIDTH SHARING

[silver cedar]

luck issue

[gleaming shell]

this is why my trust rating is so low

[shadow ivy]

NO WAY

[thin hare]

lol

[idle wing]

dont worry

today i have had 3 instances of sgs client just stopping randomly (salad app was still running fine) and literally it gets super annoying

and it starts quickly but it stops quickly too

[gleaming shell]

im trying to get sgs client to even download

i got the new update, dosent look like its going too well
1 day and 18 hours of uptime, no sgs client

imma wait for a week or two tho

[pseudo fog]

bro is better off using containers fr

[gleaming shell]

yeah im currently surviving off 1 normal paying container (~50-60 cents per day)

[lost marsh]

Is there a way to block certain companies

[upbeat shuttle]

?

[hollow vortex]

dont need to uninstall. just install overtop of it.

[safe loom]

no

salad wont disclose companies, therefore you wouldnt have the choice to block specifc ones

[safe loom]

but they do make sure the companies are 100% legal and are paying for bandwidth for an ethical reason*

[hollow vortex]

Can put a filter on your router lol .

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd strongly recommend against doing that..

Salad will notice that some traffic isn't making it through, and disconnect you from the network; no more jobs

plus blocking certain IPs won't block certain companies - it'll just block the websites that they're trying to access.
all requests from the companies come from Salad

[past orchid]

looks the same as my grapth

[kindred helm]

https://tenor.com/view/look-at-this-graph-nickelback-gif-12683147

[hollow vortex]

Us gets ripped on bw jobs. Lol.

[gleaming shell]

Almost 2.5 days of uptime now, still no sgs client

[hollow vortex]

Cool.

[gleaming shell]

Boutta go insane within 1 week without sgs client

[hollow vortex]

Lol. Over dramatic .

[gleaming shell]

Botta start seeing things

[narrow tiger]

bro is running a clash game

lol

[hollow vortex]

Lol

[pseudo fog]

like containers

they make sure the companies are only making joker yodas

not bad things

[gleaming shell]

Too bad my school wifi isn't residential
