#Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

It's the adapters and specialized hardware that's more expensive
Yeah
i saw one of those light sensors at an isps building
asked and it was about 100$
for one of those
that was years ago though
Just like with everything, there's always cheap options and expensive options
mm
hopefully the governments plan of installing fttp to every home gets completed on schedule
Sadly that'll never happen in the US for atleast 20 more years
thats happening in the usa
biden secured about 25 bil for building broadband infrastructure
idk where they are at it right now
but yeah
actually do u know dat this spike occurs every 5mins?
oho what speeds?
oof
me when no job
bro ima even lower than urs in jp bw (in terms of usage and perhaps earning i guess)
Oh I got bandwidth job
almost one dollar a day with bw in US
very lucky
wow didnt expect dat us bw is/could be as low as jp one
US bandwidth has always been horrible
"based on us"
well then
but i thought @ least better than the new countries dat could share bw
naw
Nah, US is just horrible, honestly your already lucky to get atleast 50 cents a day in the US
o well then
Though it has seemed to have gotten better in the past like 24 hours
yeah
ima making 90-95cents here with gpu mining
per day
far more stable comparing 2 urs
from 0.8 cents 2 1.1 cents per 15mins in range
Mining got huge increase in the past few
mining only earns me 15-22cents per day
4090 used to get rough 80 cents with oc and luck
yesterday yes
now bro gets 1.07$
I meant weeks
o well
isn't it cuz bitcoin is going up in value or smth
Ethereum *
what is that app
glasswire
o
yes i saw "Go Premium to unleash the full power of GlassWire" on their website
Atleast the main features are free
Just download an older version
Works just as well, gives you dark mode
how about the 7days chart?
also unlocked?
week is 7days so
Legit no down side to using the older version if you don't pay
just more features tbh
h word lmaoo
most likely not (in my opinion)
hm ok

sure
what sure
sure?
u r irretrating
sure
Lads im on my way to London today so I can get 100 upload
Gonna take a pic of the Big Ben when I get there
Hey guys I'm back
And this time I'm Indian apparently
Which tbh is more understandable than putting me in Australia. Not complaining though
Also like last time, no vpn or anything. Just opened my computer and turned Salad on and it just gave me BW for some reason. Maybe my trust score is too good
where do you live
I average 40 cents w/ BW in US
first AU and then IN, bro tf is wrong with ur salad ๐
that latency ๐
5G below avg. be like
this is as far as my device can go I guess
imagine
my phone is 3 years old after all
Who tf stole my job

LMAO that emoji
why it's showing 0.1.8 on this, and mine is normal without any number
this one is mine
Need this kinda business in the US lol
Fiber this week so I'll be stealing more US jobs ๐
if there are any jobs to steal
I've been getting jobs
Not the high paging ones tho
But still getting jobs pretty easily
@pulsar arrow btw my sgs client is still going strong
I'm pretty sure this is the longest it has run without something breaking/dying
Maybe
Tbh I don't even know how I'm getting jobs prety easily
Bc the amount if times I've restarted my laptop or something broke lol
Got lucky I guess
Yeah
what's your daily earnings now
Idk it jumps around a lot
It occasionally spikes
US moment
mines jumpy aswell
I'm at uni so idk whether windows is downloading something or whatever
Still pretty bad bw earnings for me but I guess it's progress
Anyways class boutta start so I gotta dip
1$ 24hr in the US
8.5$ 24hr in the uk
What's the possibility of getting sgs client running again? coz of so many power cuts my pc shut downed, bws is not available in my country and it is in testing phase. However, I was still earning from it
thats like... my earnings in a month and a half...
๐
T
waiting for bandwitdh testing to complete
MAN
bro how
how u keep your pc 24 hr on ?
what speed you got cus mine on virgin media is shit
I just leave it on
can i ask u something
Nah
Jk what is it?
ow is there any device through which i can remotly access my pc ? like turning on and off?
can someone reply to this?
hmm and how could i make people use my code
how u earning if bws hasnt came in your country
idk, but I was earning from that, for testing I turned off container, but now I lost sgs client
sgs?
ya that's a client which salad uses to share bandwidth, idk much about it
wait bandwidth works in my region ?
no it's in testing phase
how much times does it takes
last time on 11 march 6:24 PM sgs client ran on your computer
idk
and I am feeling very low coz of fking power cut I lost sgs client, now my earnings are half T_T
what the fuck happend bro
... what ? and how did u know that something happened without been known to me
how u got first?
in your screenshot it shows on that date and time that folder was modified
so many people got before me
hmm ig only i earned that day 0.0900 approx
it only used 20MB, and other have 60-100MB usage
u can download?
nope
what trade?
refferal code ๐ if not then its ok
I have already used referral on my acc
how much done
u cant use more ?
nope
hmm can u use my
I can't, we can only use 1 code
man RIP
lol
ig no benefit for me
you can suggest salad to your friends
they will not use ik my friends
I am gonna miss sgs-client T_T
maybe they can, to get 2x boost
wait this means even after testing u will not able to use bandwitdh
nah they are not interested
I lost that, idk how, maybe my pc was shutting down because of power cut, and salad removed me from testing....
man even with contain i earn this much only how can i increase it
the only way this is going to increase when you will get high paying job
job?
once I got 96 cents job, but I lost that to
job?
yes, there are 3-4 cpu container job, 23 cents, 45 cents, 62 cents and 96 cents, around this
and please don't ask me anything coz I also don't know much about this :(
how can i get that
ow
luck
please don't ask me 
why something is sus
23 cents is the most common workload
where can i see how much containe job i am earning
it's in the next 24 hours
hmm
are u using latest version of salad?
1tb shared woo
I don't even know how much gb shared bc im at school woo
just remote in with google remote desktop
Turns out my sgs died an hour ago
For some reason
Again (5th time)
teamviewer and create an account
see on phone to!
the responce is fast as well
Can't lie after midnight; it has an affect on it all
i wonder if sgs client is supposed to show up in glasswire with periodical data usage of like bytes per second when theres no job
bc mine isnt showing up in glasswire and im not earning anything
so im wondering if sgs is broken, of if its normal for that to happen
yah mine does that
it shows bytes a second
like randomly
every few seconds
im sure thats just checking for jobs
like a heartbeat sort of thing
then something might be broken for me then
possibly, could be wrong
its not broken - if you restarted or lost internet - your sgs shuts down . and wont appear again untill there is a need for your badnwidth .
But if you have had SGS with no loss of connection - it will sned Killobytes of data - to check for jobs. and IT will show it in Glassware.
if you dont have bandwidth enabled for long pierods of time , chances are slim for getting it to run on a reboot or hours of disconnect . and depends on the need of the client. since there more US cheifs then there are Clients wanting US bandwidth . there is the que line - and etc
I'm assuming I just keep salad running even though sgs is in task manager but no network usage from finding jobs
thats wird if it doesnt show in glassware cause glassware show any and all network usage.
yes beta 3 version
i got this thing in my logs when my sgs stopped recieving jobs
bruh why is the image quality so bad
not sure if it went down or not but should i still keep salad running or should i restart it
-sgs still runnning in task manager just no network usage (not even usage for job searching or smth)
as always been said, us bw is terrible, so i bet no network usage sometimes is a common thing
Is it still running though?
If it is the thatโs normalโฆ
Yeah sgs is still running in task manager but it doesn't show up on glasswire and stuck at 0mbps
Imma keep salad on for longer to see if anything happens
(Its also still logging, 0 bidirthroughput)
Alright
update to v1.1.0
because
1.0.9 beta builds will no longer receive container jobs
according to ozua
mb
I had bandwidth shating for a few days
but now sgs client has deleted itself
and I can't get it back
how do I get it back T-T
its crashes alot
well v1.0.9 beta doesn't receive any container jobs anymore
so
wat
i have beta 3
Yes, beta doesnโt get container jobs anymore
so no earnings
WAT noo so which should i downlaod?
The latest version 1.1.0
ok will container work in that/
Yesโฆ.
lol i have that
mine die earlier today
around 3 hours ago?
oh, L
9 hours ago
idk why its not using network tho
apparently i was told its not broken bc its still running
my sgs
no
no network usage at all
not showing up on glasswire
its on task manager tho
Sounds like it broke to me
imma let it run for another 24ish hours or maybe 48
if nothing happens ill just assume something broke
but idk tho, 2 ppl said its not broken
Usually it at least has an occasional like 300 kB spike while looking for a job
u does it gets restart everday
can someone explain bandwidth sharing to me bc I turned it on and im not making more
Check pinned messages here
where are you from?
bangladesh
sheeesh
oh, one from Pakistan also got AU folder at first, then yesterday he got IN
Bug, I had it as well
but still he is earning that's great
maybe global beta in disguise
My net cut out so rip IN as well
I could probably still have it, I just haven't turned my PC on since then
AU bw earns more than IN bw, they get 1 dollar/day ig, and IN is still in testing phase
same, I also got sgs client and I am earning double
salad loves us
yes <3
yes
I have been using from 3-4 days, only 22MB usage
how do u check that
search data usage on windows
well same here
I had it from the day I downloaded it and now it disappeared
0.668 every 15 mins
sheeesh
Its not even supported in my country
same
sgs client is like a handout
it gives to the poor every once in a while
then takes it away
Lol
I went from $0.2 a day to $0.7 a day
pog
means you dont have bandwidth jobs 
LETS GO I GOT SGS CLIENT AGAIN (on a school morning too)
well i already had it just no network activity
I got sgs without bandwidth being supported on my country
Too ez
What remote desktop app do you use
Charge ur fucking phone
chrome remote desktop
oh same
...
32 percent lah that's enough to last for an hr or more
probably 2 hrs
Fiber optic being installed tmrw ๐ let's goooo . Stealing all the US jobs.
stay away
Put in for 800/800 if it's reliable I'll go higher .
you cannot stop the inevitable
true, i lost jobs for a nice part of today already
Hoping salad don't cap you at one job at a time ?
for example
7 day graph btw
I'm gonna have to figure out a way to easily monitor the data usage for both bandwidth sharing laptops now :v
since Salad STILL hasn't separated earnings in the graph per pc / earning method
Just use Windows data , devide by 2. Check it end of the day.
Could I use same account on both my ISP?
Instead of trying to run 2 off of one isp
same
picking up and then immediately dropping
imagine complaining getting more than 30 cents a day
never complained, just stated how my earnings are going
talking about Leon and HDD
Yep
sounds like we've got basically the same idea lol
Lol,
ozua about to singlehandedly steal all the jobs in the UK
huh
small chance I'll get a higher paying job
Small chance I'll stop seeing you complain daily.
One day...
( probs today)
(Or tomorrow
or day after tommorow
(Or never)
I set the test server in Kuwait, and I had better uploads on that than a local server here
imagine
(Kuwait is a middle eastern country)
a server in London gives me barely 8mbit
server diff tbh
me who has absolutely no bandwidth sharing 
u live in india but ok
da f i have already said it ain't yet released
ps 20 cent job all the time 
You earn?!?!!?
woah another bandwidth spike during class
these kind of graphs makes me more impatient for bw sharing here 
dude this is so stupid
I disabled windows update
everything
from even disabling the service
and it auto restarted right in front of me without even giving me an option to back out
I had disabled auto restarts and shit
what the fuck is wrong with microsoft
I've got to wait for sgs client to ramp up again
there goes another 5 dollars of earnings
why is it making me think im getting alot
Prob bc of the height of the thing
no way 
staircase
Same here , can't figure out why. Last 3 months every reboot I did SGS started within 15 or less minutes. Left it run for 2 days nothing. Wondering if it's something SGS side , or if demand is really that low. Might be worth submitted a official support ticket .
@upbeat shuttle knows something
one of the container workloads did funny shit with my ip ๐
?
there was a really good spike
midnight in cst
basically night
how
wtf
i think i am going to rerun librespeed
reran it, it keeps giving me the most dog ass servers possible for download
40/40 symmetrical on librespeed
librespeed bad
what'd you expect
during testing for me
either 300 down less than 5 up
or 20 down 100 up
If I get the beta testing for Japan BW,
With there be the option in performance tab?
Or it will just run in bacground
graph:
when will bandwitdh sharing launch in India?
me when pins
Me when no one reads pins
true
Just change your name to " read the pins before wasting your time asking a question "
everyone's name should be changed to that ๐ง
what are pins
When bw in whawha ?
when India sharing in bandwidth
when your mom sharing
aka becoming communi*m
Lol
takes me to this : https://medium.com/salad-technologies/how-to-unblock-salad-with-your-isp-8cf54adc7da6
#community-support 

._.
me when the schools internet is faster than my 70mbps internet
me when
well yes most schools get high bandwidth internet because many people will be using it at once
yes for their ๐ค activities
my school has like 150 people and only like 3 classes are allowed to use the internet
yep
the whole app?
apis
looks like my two CPU container PCs kept running fine, but my bandwidth sharing laptop died
everyone make sure your pc(s) are still running fine :)
Shut mine off this morning . Lol
Fiber rescheduled for Friday now :/. Ganna take them a lil bit to install . Didn't have enough time today to wait for them
Lol jelly.
--
mine's already been rescheduled like twice now, and now we're absolutely sure that it's getting installed tomorrow
Lol, my first reschedule. You getting 1 gig ?
though I've had to wait like 2 weeks each time 
450 symmetrical, can upgrade to 500/500, 1000/1000, or 2000/2000
Ahh ok, I down graded to 600/600 , hoping I'll steal enough jobs to pay for itself .
according to my calculations (๐ค) mine should definitely be able to pay for itself
I should be getting the first 6 months for free, then I can hopefully change to one of their newer plans that has gigabit for slightly cheaper than what I'd be paying for my current 450/450
pay off your 4b debt
6 months free ? I'll take it. Lol
they no longer do that offer
Current ISP offered me 3,000 but uhhh way to expensive like wtf nah.
No use for that kinda bw. Not running my own server lol
sgs still not working oof
mine is but supah low earnings
thanks windows for restarting my computer even though I said no to updates
do u think the reason bandwidth isn't working is because of gpu drivers?
nah it isn't anyway
everytime I look at my computer it goes from 42mbit usage to 12
sgs is shy
IT JUST HAPPENED AGIN WTF
SGS IS SHY
kinda pissed because i was ready to make around 9 cents a day like i used to
9 cents every 15 mins*
hm we gotta wait for demand fo pick up again
lots of high bandwidth users are getting on right now
well its weird tho, im just not making anything at all
so makes sense
after running for 3 days straight lmao
tried that too many times
check logs for your internet speed
900/50
region?
huh weird
bandwidth is just being very shit for no reason
I'm getting sgs client after like 3 minutes of running it
perhaps i reinstall salad?
maybe I dunno
there's also a possibility that salad mightnot reinstall sgs client on your pc after reinstall
happened to me once
no
then why show here
17tbs

๐ฅฒ
back in business, total 18tb of data ๐
๐ญ๐ญ
now that you said that i feel like my laptop i gonna restart too
at any moment
dayum
i paused updates hoping it dosent restart my laptop
I know
I stopped the windows update service from running
hopefully that fixes it
and I also made it not auto start up
set it to disabled
i feel like you would be the first person to use up 1 petabyte of data
nice
woah 200gb milestone on my sgs client
not much but still progress
(compared to the uk users)
my sgs hasn't started day 3 - extremely weird.
what is ur upload
have u uninstalled and reinstalled?
do u have any siblings that might be running bw sharing?
nope cause it worked flawlessly for 3 months st8.
yeah makes sense as to why it's not as much
ok then uninstall and reinstall
nope
i wasn't.. i was stating a fact that it was weird. now your blocked stupid.
lol okay
u have a problem that u think is weird and you don't even try to get it working again
it's like saying if a mouse was having trouble getting to cheese because it had to climb up the stairs to get it, it could figure it out itself without any human assistance
I'd like to thank bandwidth sharing for continuing to work as normal while I was asleep 
same
and windows updates for not restarting my laptop when im away
bandwidth sharing is my slave
Potentially interesting link https://www.speedtest.net/global-index
shows the average speeds per country
and I'd expect it to be pretty accurate, since speedtest.net is rather popular
UK ain't even in the top 50
this is fr what a monopoly does to a mf
but doesn't it mean more people will consume more Bandwidth (normal people that do not know about salad) and get us more demand
I'm glad that these smaller companies are forcing the big ones to finally get out of the 2010's
double 
gigaclear and many more ftw
cancelled my contract with virgin and it ends this 17th

got my new internet being installed tomorrow
I swear if I have to reschedule it again, I will do a backflip
demand about to halve cus of ozua
demand is gonna be the same, but the supply is gonna double 
ur right
cmon YouTube hire salad plis
offload some of that heavy bandwidth requirements to salad
welll
I mean if it goes through somehow, it means we'll be making some serious bread
Bandwidth Sharing in its current form is more for VPN providers / companies wanting access to region locked content. Youtube would more likely want a CDN setup where each node either stores some content locally for redistribution, or takes an incoming stream and splits it out to multiple different viewers.
definite bread
maybe not best for livestreams since they have short buffers, but regular videos buffer up to 2 minutes ahead, so if a node unexpectedly goes offline, it can easily continue working normally with a fallback node

ye
the whole of UK about to be a giant cluster of nodes
80 year old granny using bw sharing:
this country is so densly populated yet manages 179 Mbits of data rates
on mobile data
standing under a tower is sweet though
yooo gigabit-ish over wifi 5
this is the data i have collected from bandwidth sharing for 3 hours
sgs-client.exe
average 100mb bandwidth shared per job
average 30 seconds per job
but its probs not accurate
it depends what you consider a 'job'
update: yay i got sgs back (again again)
still not even 1 gb here but still earning a decent amount
damn it gone
my bandwith is dead โ ๏ธ
my badwduth is not giving me big mone y ๐ญ '
fr ๐ญ
bandwidth sharing is not making me a millionare ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
||yet||
hey @dusk canyonua is bandwidth working for you
woops
I pinged the wrong person
sorry bro
Working for me
@dusk canyon@shrewd terrace
soonโข๏ธ
Tomorrow for me !
Same
Hoping it goes back alive again by the end of this day
mines alive but really unstable
Mine is running in taks manager but not showing on glasswire/no network activity
Usually I have to wait a while
mine momentarily goes to 50mbps for like 4 seconds
then goes back to 6 or 7 or even 0mbit
what job is this โ ๏ธ
literally right nowโข๏ธ
no issues so far
fiber cable is in my room
i think if i had a router that accepted fiber directly, i could use that ๐
LETS GOO I GOT SGS CLIENT BACK
I asked , my fiber provider said no have to use theirs.
they've just finished :)
they ran a speed test and got 477/477
I'm only supposed to be getting 450/450 :>
they ran a fibre cable from outside into a fibre-to-fibre box, which ran to a fibre-to-copper box, which ran to a router
something's telling me that's a bit more complicated than it needs to be but it works
Lmao yeah , that seems a bit much
You need a fiber converter - into a router( wifi ) - to your PC.
Believe the added the cable box to control your speeds. Recievers don't have the technology in them
-try removing the cable router (copper) direct hook up to the fiber receiver ๐ may not work but.
Tech that's like 59.6mbs
Excited for my fiber tomorrow. !!!
Maybe I'll get 677/677 instead of 600/600 lol
i do a lil making myself feel happier about the abysmal standard of internet speeds and use the same bits per second that all ISPs also use
Dayum
dang
plz dont steal my bw jobs
why am i not getting bandwidth
what country are u from
USA
is sgs-client running

Average UK person
guess im in the super below average then
If mine aren't good like this, I'ma flip LOL
There is no bandwidth sharing beta for india
And there is no timeline for when there will be a public release

I took it
still fixing all my local stuff
everything was messed up
looks like both of my containers are back alive though
My school had a bomb threat today (luckily it was a false alarm) and I got sgs client back at that time
last thing i want if im in a real bomb threat situation is to get a high paying bandwidth job
i should have went home like the other half of the school so i could skip class
but here i am at school bc my dumbass decided to stay here
atleast your relatives can live off your sgs money if something tragic were to happen
@pulsar arrow i am in the usa
oh yeah
the reason could be that the US regions have less demand than the other ones
and so salad decides your bandwidth is not needed and it doesn't start up sgs for you
so just keep waiting i will get it back
( I don tknow exactly how this all works, salad is pretty secretive about most things)
yeah pretty much
and yes, im in the US
โ ๏ธ
how do you guys type "bandwidth sharing", but like in a short way
like BS, or BWS or something else?
bw sharing, probably
if the convo topic is already about it, maybe just bw
anyways sgs-client has decided to show up on my old IP but not my new one
i will scream if Salad only allows one device running bandwidth sharing per account and not per IP
I'll leave them both for a while, but if it still isn't working then imma just let my brother have the slower IP
Eating roman noodles ? Lol
havent seen earnings this bad since december
anywayz 500mbit coming next week or two
my sgs-client just randomly closed but salad is still running.....
24 days is crazy
in jp i think its normal
oh u live in japan
but still earning decent amount
how much
ig u can just run cpu containers and still make a lot of money lmao
13th gen
in uk i make $1 a day
since release of 1.1
this is in a day btw
so idk how ur making 80 cents a day sharing 80mb
when im making $1 a day with 104gb
same
idk y
plus
the earnings r quite stable tho
i have shown the logs 2 those managers and still no replies
24 day graph?
You have the premium thing?
im going not 2 use any methods 2 disrupt my current earnings until an update
ofc
just what the robot sent me
old ver.
when demand high ๐
woah new high bandwidth spike
Lol, share your graph
I know that, but Bangladesh is near to India so you got IN bw, one from Pakistan also got first AU bw then IN
oh
I have yet to find a workload for bandwidth
Thanks, italy
it crashed/errored out 3 times overnight
thankfully I'm getting an upgrade next week
What's your internet plan?
virgin media 132/22
oh yeah an update on my internet insanity, no earnings overnight
I've now killed Salad on my old internet's laptop in the blind hope that i can at least get one working
i will reinstall windows if it isn't working when i get back
i hate this stupid app
mines so unstable
it goes to 41mbps then dies to 0
I'm thinking of a reinstall aswell
prob some drivers messed up

what server
is sgs running
ay nice
top one got bored
real
I hate this
broken website?
no the earnings
o
I couldn't care less about the website
nope
could it be like BT where cyph said it blocks sgs
for me the whole website is glitched
im gonna be threatened with a sun ๐
._.
cyph i have actually planted a nuke in your shoes
i don't plan to detonate it, i plan to let it leak radiation
?
i have a joke
Nova and Cyph had mentioned that BT blocks sgs client by default
I mean I've already set 1.1.1.1 as a DNS in my router
oh alright
?remindme do !isp
I couldn't figure out when you want to be reminded. Please try again.
blocks salad as a whole by default, you just change your dns
now where do I do that on virgin media
?remindme 6h do ?isp
I'll remind you on Mar 24, 2023 07:10, do ?isp
i can't even login on mobile so consider yourself lucky(?)
i have to remote into one of my pcs to login in the browser
it honestly feels right now that Salad has two and a half devs with how little progress has been made in improving the user experience
and one of those devs' life goals is making everyone's lives as difficult as possible
why
just press on 3 dots
desktop view
and done
like by killing CPU mining rather than adding simple toggle switches to enable or disable mining workloads, or moving the cpu/gpu/bw toggles into an entirely different menu which closes Salad when you go into it, or whoever suggested turning Salad into a widget and spending half a year remaking the app
no
๐
doesn't work for me at all
well works for me nicely
i would quit so fast if this didn't earn me a decent amount a day
I might've gotten a good job rn
Salad is single handedly the reason for my mental state right now
on my peak 45mbps for a good minute now
log into the earnings tab?
yeah doesn't work for me sometimes
clear cookies
and stuff
tbh i care more about my bandwidth sharing refusing to work more than Salad's inability to fix their login
indeed
yesterday mine showed up the moment I pressed start
so try a reinstall of salad
then windows
?remindme 6h reinstall salad / windows
