#Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting
1 messages · Page 20 of 1
seems to me salad only knows the min. required for sgs - everything after that is assumptions. lol.
many unkown answered questions about their own program -_-
?
I'd assume quite a lot of it is stuff they can't really tell us, otherwise it'd provide info that some bad actor could use to exploit Salad
displaying or telling us our own trust score - will allow a bad act to happen. smh.
bandwidth - sgs - IN
in India?
Oh, but I’m sure it still helps
@upbeat shuttle
I’ll give it another go with my new NDM
Yes
are you in India?
Sounds like it's rigged at this point.
huh
yes
I doubt the 'trust rating' is even a number
it's probably a collection of different data points, like your speeds, uptime, latency, etc.
and i wonder if those trust issues put down my earnings down to 45 cents from around 70 cens
longer running nodes are seen as being more reliable
real
if that's true, India might be on the queue for release
no more "Wen India bendiwit"
i c, so it indicates im atleast eligible for bandwidth sharing?
wen antarctica bandwidth?!??!?!?
wen u shut
I don't know
wen u the one who should shut shuts
I'm not an official mod or anything so I get information as fast as you do
wen u stop beeing cwinge
alr
when do you stop talking like that


ok
when do you stop speaking at all
i am waiting for the day you accidentally breathe water
like 500 litres of it
chill bro
what
i ain't up for arguments
dude im busy with other things unlike u
this is the reason i had blocked u
15tb 
when graph: 
when graph: 😢
I should stop checking salad earnings the moment I wake up
mood impacter 
truly
nais
it can make or break my day if it turns out my internet decided to die overnight
lul
frr
ojua
what does this mean
ok
Salad is testing Bandwidth Sharing in India
i c
lemme check my speeds
oh i just reinstalled salad cuz stuck on calculating
and now that folder, xmrig folder, and that weird miner name folder gone
hmmmm
Downloads: 9.31 Mbps
Uploads: 7.08 Mbps
duh
does this mean japan bandwidth started?
^ it's likely the same with Japan, and with the other (?) countries in the pinned message
o u updated it
probably
rip ur speed is under minium for salad bandwidth to work
what is the minimum again?

@upbeat shuttle is this the jp bandwidth?
looks like it
10+
Salad may be testing Bandwidth Sharing in South Korea, Israel, Somalia, Spain, and Czechia.
Until Salad officially announces a country being supported, there is no guarantee that you'll receive Bandwidth Sharing jobs.
Does the option appear tho
damn
Nooooo
No more bandwidth India when
reinstalling 1.1 the 4th time
you know what ima close the wifi for a good 5 mins
it's all because of the damn librespeed
i have a fking 50 MB/s irl
librespeed is a huge troll
the highest i ever got in librespeed test was around 20 MB/s
librespeed bad
very bad
cool
hold on so after getting that "Bandwidth-sgs-IN" log folder, i reinstalled salad cuz i had some issues, so now it's gone. Will that affect anything regarding the rollout of bw sharing for me?
sgs turned off
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
wait nnvm
it does have a job
doesnt
why doesnt my uk bandwith find a job instantly
you do uk bandwidth?
have you been blocked off anything
and what isp if u dont mind telling
it worker like 2 days ago
and I earned alot
but it doesn't find jobs quickly
glasswire
though they've paywalled quite a lot of basic features
like seeing up to 7d/30d usage history, dark mode, etc.
but it at least works
The dark mode one os stupid
||asswire||
why do i have error for bw?
what error
what is the error
error what
can you send the log
in here?
yeah that just looks like its waiting for salad to get you bandwidth job
after 2 days!! 😦
are you in the usa?
oh same i only just started today
ah, well if sgs-client is running, all you can do is wait
yeah mine is running and the log is becoming full af
ok yep, just need to wait longer is all
the wifi normaly be used around 40-50mbps
ok 🙂
so i leave it on over night?
just to get the job?
just leave it on as long as you can
how much do u get payed around nova
btw i left this on 6 hours ago so... this gonna be a long time for me
thats rude
is it?
😯
im just curious
wha?
idk
wdym?
it depend
how much bw pay do u get
today, around 6 dollars
o nice
though can be higher or lower depending on the demand uk customers have
yeah ive only just started today
i kinda forgot about salad
then i seen the new stuff
and thought why not
i have been using bw sharing for months, salad in total for a year or two
oh wow
when was bw announced?
and thats 24h?
ye
seems the blogs about it was august 2022, though support for countries have been gradual since then
thats just bw sharing, with containers as well its 6.8 dollars a day
i started with salad ages ago but just came back
will mac os get salad?
!mac
Using a Mac and wanting to join the kitchen?
Unfortunately, Salad has discontinued support for Mac, and newer versions of Salad won't support it.
While some old versions may still work, we cannot make any guarantees that it will, and Salad will not be able to provide any support should you encounter an issue.
Thanks for your understanding!
so using an old version is suppoted, i cant read
no
message is outdated, those versions are now dead
aka too much work for little user base
also with new container/bw workloads gonna have to be a whole other challenge
@frigid reef ur bw is beyond mine tho
lol
$5.76 anday tho if i carry this on
hmmm not bad
Nah, i have just ran it all day
if you do so as well you will get close to the same earnings most likely
i can get $5.76 a day
what are your internet speeds and location
900mbps 50mbps london servers
oh nice
ah, yeah i got 1gig mbps and 70mbps
how do i boost my upload speed
your speeds are depending on what contact you have with your isp
mine is so bad like 190mbps 50mbps
I've been using bandwidth sharing since it was publicly released in the US and UK
Didn't really make much
Nope
bw sharing downloads then uploads the data, the speeds both matter
what one is the slowest will be the one limiting your speeds on bw sharing
as long as ur download meets the upload
yeah so technically if harv lived in the uk they would make the same as you
but if someone with 40mbps download and 60mbps upload they would only make what ever 40mbps would make
i do
imma speak to my isp, they can get me 500mbps upload
gigabit fiber for 85% of homes in the UK by 2025, government promise
what isp do you have
imagine
not necessarily
you cannot be your own isp
im meant to have fiber rn but they fucked it up
yeah i can i provide my own interent
... then why would you call up yourself is you are your own isp
lol
but fr whats your isp
then a isp
my own
ye
i use my finger to shrae bandwidth
Finger connection when
dont u mean copper when u say cable
but nah i made my own private wisp
nice
how?
very very hrad to explain
he prob rents a fiber line
i followed a guide
yeah
ah okay
it's because where i live you get like 1 bar of service even on 3g
so
the internet is dog
I have 5g but once I go inside it drops to 1mbps
mine is like 2-3 bar 4g
rn mine is like 40
my download is 100 somin
funny thing is im making profit LOL
my friend has virgin and gets 200mbps upload
oh u got virgin aswell?
i got virgin too
My 5g gives out 300-500/something on good areas
But once you go to a bad area
You can't even take a speedtest bc it sucks so much
uhh they do not even have that as a package
yeah
they prob got fiber instead of coaxial
.
idk he could be lying
I mean don't virgin have fiber expansions going on
then he dont got virgin then
just like every isp in the country
hella weird
ive got 137mbps with 36mbps up rn
yeah i technically have the 1 gig fibre, ||but guess what at the end of the day its still a coax cable running the fastest package they have||
fibre to the cabinet ye
What if I brek in to a UK bandwidth sharers house and steal thri bandwidth
I think they're doing new laws where fibre can only be called fibre if it's to the premises
or so I've reas
read
real
it fluctuates for me
the US is getting some new demand
this is the ss my friend sent me as proof
even tho it's tiny
like rn
man I wished my school wifi was residential
oh London 💀
Could be hogging that
they got that fancy shit
bandwidth sharing your sch 💀
school sharing when
from each oter
that's a bad idea
Lawsuit incoming
imagine how many kids would be running it
on the same ip
also ur making money off the school
at the end of the day, the fatest deal they have is my one
imagine being in london
gigabit for 23 from gigaclear
well i mean clearly not
because virgin the highest they have is urs
so it must be something to do with his configuration
yeah prob
unless he has fttp he can't do those uploads with those downloads
can't wait to save up like £100 just off bandwidth sharing, then spend it all
most of virgins customers got coaxial
he's downloading forza horizon 5
wat
even business deals their max upload speed is 100mbps
wat does that have to do
it'll make his download speeds go down, he's running browser version
and you cant tell me im lying im looking at their website
often businesses get more upload while having shitty downloads, for like web servers and all
maybe he stacks the ips up together idk 😂
and like coaxial areas
that dont even work like that my guy
60£ is crazy
yeah
some places in the uk can get symmetrical speeds like 2gig both ways
at my aunts house she gets 100mbps upload
insane deal
for only 320 swedish krona my aunt gets 100 mb upload and 120mb download
320 swedish krona = around £30?
you could easily make back that money with 2gig
idc
i've spent like £200 so far
crazy
nice
2500% increase @pulsar arrow
p.s don't restart when you stop earning
it'll take longer to come back
$225 A DAY WOULD BE CRAZY
nah
my pc hardly restarts lmao
well it depends on how much activity there is that day
"would be"
its hugely based on demand
a 2 gig client might be enough to get a ton of demand off 💀
YOOO 1$ IN THE PAST 8 HOURS
gg
here comes the moneeee here we go
here comes th meoney
im making 8 cents every 15 mins
cmon lads
fr mone
ive only just started getting good demand
real
almost 1tb
and already $11
this is my first time getting good demand
the uk on fire rn
1tb god
ive got that running rn lmao
how long has that been?
literally like 20 days
how many days
dam
but like
30 hours in total
in a day? i've been running for 6 hours so 65x4 = 260
yes in a day
wait isn't it true
the more u run it
the more money you'll make sorta
cuz u get put on a higher position in the "waiting list"
or something
at the end of the day it depends on the demand of the customers and your internet speed
it just makes you more reliable and more easy to get jobs
if there's a trust system at all
i reckon there is
maybe
bro i was struggling so much when bw wasn't working for me
Vodafone has 70mb up with 500 down
talktalk?
man ngl newer versions of glasswire are shit
30 quid
isp
if its 50mb or more i might have to plant a computer in my nans attic
just to run bw gpu and cpu 24/7
bt
for 54 quid after contract you expect that much lol
oh it's 24 months
they'll upgrade by then
also dont forget the 12 months of xbox game pass ultimate
bro the demand so high rn
problems like?
like it blocking sgs by default
💀
I think cyph did say that
dam
oh yeah bt dns blocks salad
thank god i use virgin
just change the dns and its fine
e
or their firewall i think
its in the support article by salad https://support.salad.com/article/186-how-to-unblock-salad-with-your-isp
We've compiled tips to remedy common issues for Xfinity and BT Broadband users below, along with useful general solutions for other ISPs. If you don't know your
hm
talk talk is higher price
£50 a month
bt isn't since they own openreach
dang why's mine more expensive
didnt even show the price
$1.06 5 mins ago
now $1.03
sahut up
the other waty wround
i have osmeyihng in my eye
ouch
most likely because im in a completive area for bt, virgin owns most of the places over here
same with me, I can get 1gig virgin
oh i mean, my area is a small town with alot of new houses, virgin media has invested alot in my area
what are your speeds again? I forgor
||fake earnings btw||
oh
Please do not post fake earnings
that's still 3x mine 
and he got 50mbps up I think
ye
do you use the rose gateway
what how
though i have yet seen the marigold one being used
there is literally no starting point to my latest sgs logs
bro i need to get £20
look at past logs
as the log is every 24 hours
how did u see my past earnings
if you are just gonna be trolling please move to another channel and stay out of the support category
oh yeah this isd a support category
mines the rose gateway aswell
loler
ur a troller
73up and 500 down for 30 quid
im waiting for my dorm managers permission
as they did say theyd send an egngineer over
not even available at my address
so im confirming to see if hes alright if IN CASE theres some digging
there shouldnt be, since they wouldnt offer it if it wasnt already available at my place
yep, guess you have to wait until city fibre gets to you
they did my area about a month ago
but they still say theyre 'due for an upgrade' in my neighbourhood
i want that non city fibre wdym
all the smaller areas getting the symmetrical internet
hm
savage
as you said, virgin has a ton of presence in your neighbourhood
outdated in my area and they still show it
about to sue them for false advertising
they also show amazing slow speeds for competitors
gig1 insane
52mbps upload average but 1130mbps download average lol
zzoomm isn't avaliable where i live
I very much doubt that lol
maybe if they mean the infrastructure to be able to do that, but it's still a minority of homes that can do gigabit fiber right now
its around 70% atm
sooo
ehh
ngl gigabit is pushing it a bit
even 100 is plenty for most people
I get that it'll be nice for the future, and I'll eat my own words in a couple years time, but I wonder if that money could be put to better use, like oh I don't know, making sure that we don't freeze over the winter and that we can afford to keep the lights on?
I WANT TO OVERTHROW THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE THREAT I FULLY INTEND TO DO THIS AND YOU CANNOT STOP ME
i have simultaneously set off multiple alerts in multiple different government agencies
anyways, just over a week until i FINALLY get the new internet installed
everything is set in place
why wouldnt it be
..?
what ?
whta is this?
weefee
bruh how
my ssd and hdds are slower than my wifi speed
would take me days
what?
could be a lot of reasons
jesus christ
scrolled through like 600 messages
fire bio
wiiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiii
i don't think they get payed 
i ain't even trying to stop u go ahead and get em
yes
im actually jealous of the bandwidth users
so much profit eee
sed
wdum sed
._.
less earning sed
ehm ye
no
Finaly!!

nice
so ima leave it on for another 7-8 hours and come back to check it again
👍
ig
salad been waking me up to happiness this week
375 is crazy
brudda use bandwidth on my account for just one day pls
salad 😭 cmon man...
Atleast you get something
what a monkey i have been making nothing for days now
god
from now on yes
been waking up to 2 low paying containers this week
atleast its not 1 i guess
Damn.. 0.0045
😦
hope u get it higher 🙂
if ur lucky
havent got an actual container that uses cpu in a while
Which website should I use to check my download and upload speed? Ookla or do I need other website?
that's the service salad use
ok and which server?
keep automatic or the default one
nice
what about you?
oh me
ya
i only have mobile data so bandwidth sharing is useless for me
sad :(
yeah ;-; when i will go back to my parent's house for the holidays i will share my bandwidth
yeah basically
yeah that'd be smart
gr
which country?
uk
What is going on?
It's been off and on since the last update
It used to be stable and constant
Least your getting something. I used to get about $5 a day, i even saw it at $6 just before the update
Bandwidth Sharing earnings aren't constant / stable / predictable at all
but it used to be stable 😭
key words, 'used to'
Do you use containers?
Did you use containers?
Ohh i do get that. But i used to get $5 a day, every day. For well over a month. Then update came and poof. The times it's earning has dropped. It used to be pretty much 24/7 before the update. Now i'm lucky to get anything all day o.O
which update
no. BW sharing earnings were stupid high and you can't use the containers at the same time.
You should be able to use containers alongside Bandwidth Sharing
the one that introduced the new BW option for use everything all only min
There was a pin that said it doesn't from the team here
Read that again
staff here said it wasn't
Microsoft pc manager helps me so much through these hard situations
Salad app updates shouldn't affect Bandwidth Sharing really at all
ohh, when did that change?
It's always been this way, though my initial phrasing back then might not have been right 😅
im trying to do BW, cpu mining and container
hmmm. i used to think it worked. then a staff member showed proof that it doesn't. With screenshot proof from the devs or higher up staff. So i'm not hearing conflicting statements with proofs lol
If you have the Container Enviroment enabled, then you're running CPU containers - Salad just runs a mining workload if there aren't any CPU container jobs available.
oh
im sure im using container then
since no miners are running and i have the vm exe thing running
ye

I new i wasn't going mad hahaha
that cool is also in the screenshot. Not me being rude 😄
ight ty
That's outdated info, this is more up to date;
😄
grrr how to make bandwith more consistent
yesterday at this time it found a job anfd
make stacks
how much u made
are you uk?
yes
what speeds you got?
Mines the winner o.O
huh
100 gigabits per second?
🥲
yes sir
that won't change anything for bandwidth sharing
this mf gonna buy the entire internet backbone of a country
xD
its kind of useless bc even if you got so fast wifi you need fast disk
to download thinks
I very much doubt that you can get that, but if we're speaking hypothetically, I'd assume there's a bottleneck in either Salad's, Cloudflare's, or Salad's customers' systems that would limit you from getting anywhere even close to utilising the full capabilities of that connection.
We've seen people here with gigabit symmetrical speeds, and Salad is only using a couple hundred of it.
Also Salad's customers would be a pretty big bottleneck - They don't need nor really want that high of speeds
Bandwidth Sharing data isn't written to disk, it's stored in RAM at worst, before being immediately sent off to where it needs to be sent
If it worked like a CDN, you'd have a point though
which could very well be one of Salad's future workloads/jobs :)
lets hope so
it's not stored, just held in ram as a buffer for it to be relayed
so i have to get 1 TB RAM so it downloads fast?!?!
breh
hell nah
no
sgs-client.exe doesn't use much ram because the buffer isn't meant to store anything
it's just meant to keep the relay of data smooth
it will use up at most like 32mb under worst case scenarios
but typically it'll be like 12mb under use
Then back to ~20
not using much
just share bandwidth 
bandwidth is sopposed to be inconsistent
Yet i was getting around $5 a day for over a month, right before the update that brought in the resource preference.
Also, that's not far off a full day of no traffic usage. I never got that before.
Compared to before the update.
I get usage will differ from day to day. But this is so out of the ordinary.
I doubt it would be due to an increase in users either.
I've never seen it go hr's with 0 traffic for the last what, week or two
It was also a ton more stable earnings that it is now.
are you conplaining about almost 5 a day
what are the reports of bandwitdh testing in japan and india?
I'm no longer getting anywhere close to that since the last update. Since then, i've been lucky to get a few hrs a day of any usage.
yesterday, i made $0.12
That's on two devices, running two separate IPs
india doesnt have bandwidth
hmm
what are your ndm logs like?
bandwidth testing is happeneing
is it?
i haven’t heard anything about it
japan is supposedly released but i’m not sure if it’s a full release or beta since i’ve only seen it on the store
oh
okay
checked ping
alright
coinsidence ig
aint no way
answered in #community-support
my sgs uses about 88mb/s of ram.
I haven't gotten a job in 2 days now, + the static earnings dropped from 0.8 cents/15 mins to 0.4 cents/15 mins now
Eh, least your getting something. It's better then nothing.
doesn't sound too strange, we also had our static earnings decrease a bit, and then disappear once real jobs were being sent out
It's alright when combined with cpu containers, I get paid around $1 per day
my puter rebooted in the middle of the night
reboot your life-
what a strange and nonsensical response
real
thats the shit you like to see
0mbps
lul
u took mine
grrrrr
NO U DIDNT
U GAVE IT BACK
any idea why i keep droping like this
i have mine but it doesnt have a job
same
and im not running cuz i play val
mine is running but im hardly getting anything
means ur fraud
might get you blocked
on some websites
or ur gonna have to deal with more capcthas
woah dudes that like suff exist
money fraud ?
no
reset router
change your ip usually
depends on your isp tho
it depends on the isp you have
not all change it
ip will change to another one, the ip u currently have may have been used in the past for "suspicious" purposes
more like
road traffic?
finaly normal again 🙂
itll take some time
If you use a modem your ISP provides , or you have a static IP. Your IP won't change by shutting it off and turning it back on.
i c
true but yk you can try
Modem provided From your ISp ? Chances are you can't change it manually.
when is bandwith thing coming out for thailand
u are die
cuz ip confidential
just like ur bank acc details
don't even try
if u had checked pins, you'd know they don't work
dang it
read da pins
!pins
some random guy in your house
not really
but hackers can hack it if they want to
unlikely but possible
?
bruh
people
know
where u live
SE asia
im not gonna sae were cuz i saw the internet provider
i saw
he just learnt what leaking an ip can do to u, so ye
don't freak him out more lmao
Im using freezed wet wipes to deal with 83 celcius cpi
Cpu
Easy fix
idk
Yl wagt
Im disassembling the laptop
And putting some thermal paste
Yesh
Mine too
SRSLY??
6 dollars
rupees my guy
didnt pay attention 💀
I MEAN IT WORKED
ooof then watch a proper tutorial
did not go in
