Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[gleaming shell]

damn looks like its still broken

i give up

[little saffron]

it going up and down every time

nothing stable

does someone have here stable bw earnings ?

[upbeat shuttle]

bold of you to ask for stable earnings from Salad

[little saffron]

wat

[gleaming shell]

I don't even have sgs

I could say stable 0 binary digits per second

I guess

[jovial fiber]

how ;-;

[gleaming shell]

Idk

Miner starts up normally, uses my gpu, no degraded salad, logs work, no errors, predicted earnings, but no actual earnings

Man I really miss the 1 dollar per day from containers (2 a day for me bc I had 2 running)

[jovial fiber]

skill issue

[gleaming shell]

skel isue

[jovial fiber]

i really miss uhhh nah i never earned more than 0.10 a day 💀

ahhhhhhh i don't get cpu containers why

man i killed bowl service and now i have a container 💀

[silver mulch]

does anyone think cpu containers are worth using with sgs

[upbeat shuttle]

why wouldn't they be?

[silver mulch]

im only making about $0.12 off containers

@still tendon what country are u in that bandwidth is so good

[white hazel]

howd you get it?

[pseudo fog]

uhhh you wait for job???

u enable it and wait

[white knot]

req. >10mbps u/d and <100ms delay

[wheat bronze]

is bw available in India??

[white knot]

still in testing

[wheat bronze]

Hmm after how many days it will be released

[frosty brook]

in few days

i think so

[white knot]

u cant tell

[wheat bronze]

Waiting for months Lol cpu containers sucks now

[white knot]

so do i

has been mining 4 over a week now

[wheat bronze]

I have been mining for weeks and still got just 9$ from containers

[white knot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

avg. ppl not wanting 2 upgrade their pc/bw be like:

[wheat bronze]

bruh i have i5 12600k the containers sucks

[white knot]

off topic already

[wheat bronze]

LoL

[safe loom]

you’ve been waiting for maximum of a month, though it’s not on topic let me explain
you need more customers to get more jobs for you to be paid, with cpu mining being removed cpu containers is the only workload for CPU, you’re better off using your gpu with containers if it’s 10x0 series or better

[pseudo fog]

always been, demanded picked up alot recently tho

[foggy mica]

sad times happen

[little saffron]

How do you get that stable ?

Tell me

[foggy mica]

Left it on for the last 3-4 daya

No closing

Just bandwidth

Plus ethernet cable

[little saffron]

Same

On 3 pcs

Nothing stable

Uk doe

[pulsar arrow]

Apparently signing up for BT gives you free access to WiFi hotspots across the entire country

This is so good

I'm getting a 560mbit hotspot at my house lmfao

one of my neighbors have opted in ig

but I'm not gonna abuse it

not running sgs on that shi

don't wanna lose this privilege

[woven sage]

my sgs client has just dipped and im not sure why

it was in the middle of bw

and it just dipped

[still tendon]

uk

i had to sacrifice ping in games tho

it went from around 10 to teleporting around the map in games

[grave jacinth]

how much would I earn in a day?

pain

[modern panther]

what country

[grave jacinth]

india

[wheat bronze]

painnn

[upbeat shuttle]

it's impossible to predict earnings, unfortunately

[narrow kelp]

when bandwith share in bulgaria

[modern panther]

never if you keep asking

[dim wren]

everyone around me are getting high paying bandwith jobs

i have a speed of around 100 mbps

but still get 0.004

[wheat bronze]

my sgs used 30gb in total...... whyyyyyy

No earnings

[safe loom]

because thats what it was told to use

guh??

[wheat bronze]

but why it used the internet if i didnt made any money

[white knot]

258.4gb bw shared this month

[white knot]

probs as much as around $30-40

[hollow vortex]

its around 2 cents a gig

[white knot]

then ur wrong

12 cents in my case

@ least

[wheat bronze]

It depends on the country tho

[white knot]

^^

[hollow vortex]

US gets the most Cents per GB in almost every BW app from my research

[neon blade]

bidirthroughoutput gives false hopes 😭

[hollow vortex]

Monitoring something that is Client based demand is just wasting life away. Check it once a day and live your life.

[little saffron]

GOT 15 cent NOW

WTF

[peak terrace]

wtf how

[hollow vortex]

He didnt do it. the client requested alot of BW for that time frame. and his upload speed could handle it.

[little saffron]

[peak terrace]

no shit

lmao

[pulsar arrow]

yes

[pulsar arrow]

no

it shouldn't disappear

if there was no job it'd still be running

your internet probably went down

check the logs

[gleaming shell]

day 6 insanity no sgs

[hollow vortex]

Okay.

[gleaming shell]

@pseudo fog

using the short summary you came up with

[jovial fiber]

Sgs don't want to start and you get good speed on speedtest website ? Maybe Salad (librespeed more precisely) is doing things wrong !

In some rare cases, Salad may accidentally use an awfully slow server to test your bandwidth speeds.
You should check your latest logs at C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\ndm to see if it meets the minimum speeds. This is typically roughly around 10mbps.
If the final results ('Download rate' and 'Upload rate') are not above this minimum, sgs-client.exe will not start.
In order to make Salad run this test again, you can either restart your PC - or close Salad, restart Saladbowl in Task Manager, then start Salad again.

If salad keep selecting bad server follow these steps to force it to use the best server :

How to force librespeed cli to use the server that works the best for you :
1 ) Go to https://librespeed.org/ and try different server, find the one where you get better speeds
2 ) Go to https://librespeed.org/backend-servers/servers.php and with the country, city and provider find the id associated to your server
3 ) Go in the salad workload-definitions folder on your pc ([Drive]:\ProgramData\Salad\workload-definitions) and open ndm.yaml with notepad, find the line : args: "--ipv4" and add --server with the id
You get something like : "--ipv4 --server 49" for id 49.
4 ) Save the file, if you have permission problem save it to another name (like ndm1.yaml), delete the old one, and rerename your new file to ndm.yaml.

jk

[jovial fiber]

nah

let me advertise my miracle solution

that we both have no interest into using it

[gleaming shell]

btw finally my bad speedtest situation is fixed

i use new york servers now

virginia bad

[jovial fiber]

bruh

[gleaming shell]

viginia very bad

[jovial fiber]

YES

virginia = trash

[gleaming shell]

dont use virginia server

[jovial fiber]

don't use virginia in general

[gleaming shell]

yes

virginia wors tof the wortst

[frosty brook]

sgs client not working pls help

[modern panther]

cause u have to wait

for a job

then ug et money from the job

[rotund oriole]

When I went to UK I was like ehhh?! They have virgin?!?!

[austere radish]

which app is that?

[safe loom]

glasswire

[austere radish]

oh tnx

[safe loom]

don’t install it to see sgs

it’s dumb

[austere radish]

then?

[safe loom]

you can see sgs in task manager

[safe loom]

glasswire is used to monitor suspicious activity on networks

[shrewd terrace]

yo my salad is saying degraded for some reason

[safe loom]

this is bandwidth sharing chat, #community-support

[shrewd terrace]

oh right

[frosty brook]

i have checked

[lost tide]

i have no sgs client in task manager what can i do to start it (in ndm logs im getting 100/100)

[frosty brook]

same

[lost tide]

bruh

it was started yesterday but somehow it managed to close

now its just not starting. nothing that i can do to start it?

[wheat bronze]

its on my task manager but it just doesnt use any bw

[safe loom]

you wait

and read the pins

[frosty brook]

hey can anyone send me file of sgs client it was deleted from my system

[safe loom]

salad will download it when it needs it

[frosty brook]

k but still can you send

[safe loom]

no

salad will download it when it needs it

[upbeat shuttle]

manually downloading it yourself makes zero difference in if Salad runs it or not

[frosty brook]

k

[frigid reef]

any luck on your 2nd network?

[upbeat shuttle]

nopee

[frigid reef]

Dam rip

i got 2 on the same network, you can even get 2 on diffrent networks

[mighty fractal]

what is my bandwith being used for?

[upbeat shuttle]

[mighty fractal]

i just discovered that im helping netflix in italy cool

[jovial fiber]

HoW tO ShARe bAnDwIdTh WiThOuT uSInG iNtErNeT ?

[gleaming shell]

do it in your sleep

[kindred helm]

salad single handedly will stop global sleep deprivation

[gleaming shell]

yes

[frigid reef]

how to sign up as a client?

MAN I JUST WANT SGS

OJS[R90PWKE0 -WOR-0WE4OR-0EWRKO-

ITS BEEN 7 DAYS

[kindred helm]

i thought you posted a steam key

[gleaming shell]

THATS NT EVEN THE WORST PART, ITS MY EARNINGS HITTING A NEW LOW 7 DAYS AGO

[gleaming shell]

its my insanity key

[silver cedar]

fail

[pulsar arrow]

I bet you can't beat this

[pseudo fog]

I can beat it

Because the rules never specified 0.00 on 7 days nor 30 days

[pulsar arrow]

typical Chromebook user

[pseudo fog]

i can beat u simply by making new acc

[gleaming shell]

its happening right now?

or are you earnings again?

[pulsar arrow]

I don't have internet at home

until the 10th

I have data that's fast enough

but I'll just wait till the new one gets installed

[gleaming shell]

LETS GOOO SUFFER WITH ME (for now)

[pulsar arrow]

[gleaming shell]

FINALLY SOMEONE THAT GETS TO (TEMPORARILY) SUFFER WITH ME

except that you have it a bit worse, no earnings

but its only for now

[pulsar arrow]

Hmm

[gleaming shell]

once you get your internet

[pulsar arrow]

it's still a gamble if I'll get the jobs to max out my new speed

[gleaming shell]

it really sucks here

day 7 no sgs

[pulsar arrow]

0 rizz

[gleaming shell]

i got rejected 89 times

(cpu mining)

[pulsar arrow]

90th times the charm

[jovial fiber]

i have no earnings apart from cpu containers (which i don't use a lot because it earns nothing) until 20th June ;-;

[gleaming shell]

You're also earning the amount I'm earning?
12 cents a day?

[hollow vortex]

1.4 TB uploaded in 20 days. 7 days to go.

[jovial fiber]

it's more 0 because i just gave up, i'll wait for bandwidth

[mighty fractal]

which one is better honeygain or salad?

[gleaming shell]

salad

[pseudo fog]

it depend

s

[gleaming shell]

no

[gleaming shell]

no

sala

honeygain bad

salad

[pseudo fog]

if ur on unsupported country

HONEYGAIN IS THE BEST BRO

[gleaming shell]

also

is it possible to get sgs client if youre cpu mining using cli?

[pseudo fog]

oh shit

good point

[gleaming shell]

if it is possible ill cpu mine

but if it isnt i wont

[upbeat shuttle]

well Salad can't see / isn't directly running xmrig so I suppose it'll work

that used to just be an artificial limit set by salad anyways

[gleaming shell]

also my second laptop has ~16 days of uptime, no sgs on that either damn

[peak terrace]

much stability

[gleaming shell]

much hell

[gleaming shell]

here goes the last spike

[gleaming shell]

and there goes the last spike...

[pseudo fog]

noo..

ur last 24hrs is now cursed

[gleaming shell]

Well it's last 7 days

But yes 24 hours is cursed

[shrewd terrace]

bw in india may release soon?
the bw spikes ooh

[weak river]

maybe, if they got more clients for us

[opal echo]

Does windows automatically restart when there's update?

Does anyone know how to disable auto update

[hollow vortex]

Sinse there snail updates, we don't know. Be lucky if there is another update this year .

[upbeat shuttle]

go into the windows updates page thingy and pause them

[pulsar arrow]

it'll still force you to update if it's important enough

happened to me

I was getting ready to go somewhere and while staring at salad, it restarted itself

shouldn't have stared

[peak terrace]

i wonder if salad will run on windows server 2022

because the updates are better controlled so it doesn't stop for no reason

[upbeat shuttle]

couldn't a simple registry tweak disable auto updates

[pulsar arrow]

hmm, needa look into it

[south gyro]

how long should it take to get a sharing job?

[hollow vortex]

Is no time frame. When a client needs your bw , salad app will start using SGS . If u have SGS and getting no bandwidth throughout you have no job. Read pins.

[shrewd terrace]

Job stolen for the 81725167th time

[modern panther]

L

[fringe gazelle]

do anyone know how to close container?

any command to close it

[modern panther]

wsl --shutdown

[fringe gazelle]

and how to restart it ?

[pulsar arrow]

restart your computer

[hollow vortex]

Restart or reopen salad

[weak river]

Is there anything I can do to fix this? bw is still testing in my country

@charred sparrow

[little saffron]

Same I don’t get any job rn

[silver mulch]

anyone do cpu containers with bandwidth or no not worth it

[peak terrace]

for me cpu containers make so little that it doesn't really make a difference

[silver mulch]

ya i making $0.12 off cpu containers

[gleaming shell]

kinda stupid question but do different gateways earn you different amounts

in the us there are i think 4 gateways

or 3 idk

and im wondering if they earn you different amounts

[pulsar arrow]

I don't know if different gateways in the same country have different rates

but different countries have different rates per gb

[peak terrace]

likewise

[gleaming shell]

(i dont even know the us pay per gb lol)

(i dont even know the pay per gb for any country actually)

[pulsar arrow]

me neither

nobody knows for sure

I think

[peak terrace]

for the UK it is ~120GB/$ according to my quick math

[gleaming shell]

i remember someone said the bidirthroughput value*countrys pay per gb=your predicted earnings

im not sure tho

[silver mulch]

so its not worth it

[little saffron]

does 1.1.3 improve sgs ?

[safe loom]

read the announcement

and tell me if you see SGS

if not

safe to say it didnt change anything unless there was a bug they squashed

[pulsar arrow]

the day they replace/improve librespeed will be the greatest day ever

[unique cedar]

upload speed in italy still drops

been 2 months ish

[brazen sail]

I’ve not been getting any jobs for the past month or so it’s crazy

120 down

[peak terrace]

uk?

[gleaming shell]

i lost my sgs client...

[pulsar arrow]

oh yeah that too

[gleaming shell]

it was working normally with a job than it just died

it isnt running in task manager too

saladbind broke somehting

so not randomly

but yeah saladbind broke something causing sgs to die

[silver mulch]

is bandwidth better than cpu containers?

[little saffron]

Btw thanks for the job earnings going stonk rn

[little saffron]

Salad bind ?

[stiff wedge]

why use saladbind in 2023

its so oudated

[gleaming shell]

someone else wanted to try something

so i installed salad bind

which caused me to lose sgs

so im back at the new low earnings

#show-off-your-earnings message

[hollow vortex]

your internet is trash, and there so many ppl that are offering there BW - w/ better uptime/speed/trust score.

[hollow vortex]

try it and find out.

[gleaming shell]

yay i got my sgs back

[broken totem]

My download speed is around 800 mb/s and upload around 40. I used to make 6.50 per 24 hours and for the past 2 weeks I’ve only been making around 80 cents per 24 hours.

[twin vector]

It's dependent on market demand

[gleaming shell]

it

[gleaming shell]

broken enter key

[twin vector]

no

[neon blade]

someone put some bandwidth clients in 1.1.3

[tepid smelt]

is upload more important then download speed? or are they both reliant on each other for bandwidth sharing?

[modern panther]

both are important

[austere radish]

noice bw bro ez money india

a doller a day

[shrewd terrace]

Yeee

I'm not a doller but i make half of u using bw and am happy

[tepid smelt]

when i restart salad or my pc it doesn’t even start the speed test thing, only started happening after i updated salad

[mighty fractal]

how much does italy pay for gb

[upbeat shuttle]

we have no idea what the pay per gb is per country, unless if someone calculates it themselves

[queen rampart]

wait salad bind still exists?

I used that like an year ago

and thought it was dead after the major update

[peak terrace]

I calculated ~120GB/$ for the UK

[pulsar arrow]

so is that ~$0.008 per gb

[upbeat shuttle]

it's usually formatted like $/gb

[south gyro]

I've been waiting for job for like 3 months at this point and I'm a bit frustrated at this point anybody got advice for me

[queen rampart]

Yes

I can help you

Check your ip socre

score*

Also make sure you have good speeds

and try not to consume too much bandwidth while salad is running in background

salad.bowl.service measures your internet speed

so try to restart the service once you ensure you have a good connection

Also

https://tenor.com/view/trollfacelmaaaao-gif-23938565

share your credit card details with me so I will deposit money in your account

jk jk

do the things I said above they might help

[south gyro]

thank you i will try them and hope that it works

[upbeat shuttle]

no, librespeed-cli does

[queen rampart]

@south gyro ^^

[upbeat shuttle]

restarting saladbowl causes salad to re-run the speed test with librespeed-cli

[neon blade]

ozua

#community-support can u read this and see if u can figure out an answer

[south gyro]

i checked my ip score and it said 0 so that shouldnt be the issue and in the logs the download speed is constantly above 60mb/s and download is above 80

could it be that it's because I'm in germany that is causing this problem

[pulsar arrow]

There isn't much demand in germany

[upbeat shuttle]

ah yeah Germany doesn't have any actual bandwidth sharing jobs, as far as i know

[pulsar arrow]

come to the UK and boost our economy

[south gyro]

nah I'm gonna stay here better job opportunities for me

[south gyro]

well that explains it

[upbeat shuttle]

probably best to just leave it enabled for if/when there's demand in Germany

[little saffron]

saldly all 3 devices went down over night bc update

and all jobs lost

made 15 dollar a day

[upbeat shuttle]

same

[safe loom]

iirc its just a testnet

[pulsar arrow]

Salad auto updates for you?

I've never had that happen

it just shows me a message saying "you have a new update available"

[upbeat shuttle]

it attempts to download the latest version, and it fails to

[hollow vortex]

Mine glitched out and to manual update.

Maybe in the next update in 6 months they'll fix that

[simple forum]

is bandwith sharing randomized for india testing or can you do something to obtain ?

[wheat bronze]

same question as i also reinstalled and its gone

[hollow vortex]

It'll redownload once ur bw is needed .

[wheat bronze]

@patent coyote

[patent coyote]

You wont have a problem, it may just be some time before you get a bandwidth job again. Or you could get it back soon, the system/logic behind Salad exists but isn't explained to us in detail.

[wheat bronze]

Ok

[wheat bronze]

but my sgs client is showing up in task manager

[patent coyote]

I"m a little uncertain here as I haven't seen this before, but my assumption is that sgs is just running and not doing anything Salad is logging. So basically, sgs is running but there's no bandwidth job.

[wheat bronze]

hmm ok

[frosty brook]

and what if sgs client is not even running

[patent coyote]

Then there's nothing to do but wait for it to run if bandwidth is available in your region. You can try troubleshooting like explained in the pins.

[pulsar arrow]

💀

[wheat bronze]

LoL

[pulsar arrow]

Sad it's not in my area yet

[wheat bronze]

ppl can just use bw to earn and pay for the net also LoL

[pulsar arrow]

I earn about 3x my internet bill

[wheat bronze]

LoL

And ur parents pay the bill?

[pulsar arrow]

I do

I live in a dorm with a roomate

[peak terrace]

what is 120^-1

bandwidth sharing on school internet

[civic fern]

"We guarantee to never unexpectedly increase your price mid-contract." Exactly, they are gonna tell you first about it

[upbeat shuttle]

£30 for gigabit isn't bad

looks like it's symmetrical too

[civic fern]

Mine isn't

A 100mbps not symmetrical

[wheat bronze]

hehe boii

[tepid smelt]

upload speed in australia are shit, i can get 250 down but only 25 up, and unless you sell your family the fastest upload you can get is 50

even though we have fttp, the isps scam us

[wheat bronze]

LoL

[kindred helm]

(League of Legends)

[wheat bronze]

yehhhh

[shrewd terrace]

U got bw Spike?

[fossil hinge]

Visited this channel after a long time

Common discord L

[fossil hinge]

I pay $10 for 15 mbps

In speedtest.net it shows a bit high

Like 30-40

Oh

[silver mulch]

my bandwidth is on fire rn

[peak terrace]

what the dog doin

[frigid reef]

helped in #community-support

[shell temple]

Because I stole all your jobs

[peak terrace]

rookie numbers

[gleaming shell]

uk moment

[gleaming shell]

woah new spike

oops accidentally sent 2 images in a row

ok i removed the second one

[hollow vortex]

not ganna complain running 3 bw apps with 2 netflix running lol

[cerulean raft]

Where can I see the sgs-client? Thanks

cuz i think i dont have one

i think my country aint supported

[cerulean raft]

the version 1.1.0 works better than the latest for me cuz i think it quickly gets a container really fast

[frigid reef]

great, there is no difference in container availability over different version aka 1.1.0, 1.1.1 and 1.1.3 will all have the same amount of container jobs on the network also this is bw sharing chat

[cerulean raft]

well, yesterday i was on 1.1.0 trying it out. it worked well and was consistent. but today i tried to upgrade to 1.1.3 again because i alr tried the version b4 the latest the first time i tried salad and it wasn't very consistent for me and took a long time to start the "earning" state which in 1.1.0 was quick for me.

especially in the afternoon where 1.1.0 is quick at finding containers

[frigid reef]

again this is bw sharing chat

[pseudo fog]

yea bro

#community-support

smh

[cerulean raft]

mb bro

[shell temple]

The 5000gb is only from 4 days

I was on holiday

It is building slowly

[fossil hinge]

damn bro thats slow af how r u even using discord

mines faster

[hollow vortex]

Dumb.

[fossil hinge]

fr?

wanna see my speed?

its 4x faster rn than usual

i am speeeeed

very fast

[hollow vortex]

Lmaooooo

[fossil hinge]

i did wrong math

its 40x faster than yesterday

usual*

[modern panther]

900 ping

[hollow vortex]

That's slow af

[fossil hinge]

its fast af

u dont know what real speed is

what did he say

i need access to logs

[hollow vortex]

Lol

Your 100x slower speeds.

[fossil hinge]

its faster than urs

i am the ceo of speed

[hollow vortex]

Learn to read.

[fossil hinge]

No

i pay $10 for this shit

[hollow vortex]

I pay 30 and get 100x ur speed lol

[fossil hinge]

no

mines faster

trust me

1 mbps is faster than 600

[hollow vortex]

Test results don't lie. Sorry kiddo

Lol.

[fossil hinge]

i made the tests

trust me bro

i mean i did the test

s

source: trust me bro

are those ips or something

oh

i am coming to their house

[modern panther]

he will pour water on the datacenter 😱

[shrewd terrace]

Bro i had to dump many bw jobs to get my ethernet work

[pseudo fog]

e

[wheat bronze]

luckyy

[wheat bronze]

yehh

[wheat bronze]

60 now

[pseudo fog]

imagine

[peak terrace]

large amount of throughput

[white knot]

100million @ peak

[still tendon]

ever since the update i have not gotten a bandwidth sharing job

i restarted it, and im not getting sgs client to open when i have 97 download 114 upload

i checked that in the log files

[pseudo fog]

imagine not having jobs

lel

[foggy mica]

tbh i have to wait at least 2-4 days just to receive bw

😦

uk area too

[foggy mica]

after 2 days bandwidth up again

[hollow vortex]

wish salad had mow clients

Ive made 10$ on my other bw app in a week.

[silver cedar]

which bw app might this be

[hollow vortex]

sure not a problem, Send me 10 lol.

bruh. fr send me 10. lol no refferal program so . lol

[silver cedar]

it's that mysterium network shit

[gleaming shell]

Wifi 69 353354420420320420g leaks

[subtle condor]

WOA

I forgot Salad was running and haven't checked it in days lmao

[charred sparrow]

i will, just a bit busy ATM

[neon blade]

someone caring to explain why are my speeds so different? (speedtesting on the same server as ndm)

[frigid reef]

are you sure its the same server?

[neon blade]

yes im sure

do u need photo proof of the ndm server

[frigid reef]

could be something else using your network as well

[neon blade]

?

explain

wdym

[frigid reef]

i mean your internet can only handle so much speed, could be something else was running on your pc taking up the internet or another device on your network

[white knot]

nope

[neon blade]

ah right something was running on my pc for forever and every single ndm logs

great

[white knot]

i got 2.42 mbps multiple times as well

with the upload speed

[neon blade]

u want me to commence another ndm log rn?

[white knot]

i dont c any fixes of it in the coming updates

[frigid reef]

other then that all i can say is salad dosent use the best of speed tests

[neon blade]

the litteral speed test says i have more speed than 2 mbps

great

no answer

👍

[twin vector]

Well it looks like librespeed has been kind to me recently

[white knot]

testing with Virginia is the worst all the time

even tho los Angeles is near it

[twin vector]

I'm using atlanta and my speed tests have been 10ms ping and 1 ms jitter, then download and upload range from 300 - 900

[white knot]

i seldom get a test from there

better solution of lib would be using ookla

and replace lib if possible

[dull gazelle]

any update in Bandwidth sharing locations?

[jovial fiber]

@neon blade
you can try that with different servers

How to force librespeed cli to use the server that works the best for you :
1 ) Go to https://librespeed.org/ and try different server, find the one where you get better speeds
2 ) Go to https://librespeed.org/backend-servers/servers.php and with the country, city and provider find the id associated to your server
3 ) Go in the salad workload-definitions folder on your pc ([Drive]:\ProgramData\Salad\workload-definitions) and open ndm.yaml with notepad, find the line : args: "--ipv4" and add --server with the id
You get something like : "--ipv4 --server 49" for id 49.
4 ) Save the file, if you have permission problem save it to another name (like ndm1.yaml), delete the old one, and rerename your new file to ndm.yaml.

[shrewd terrace]

What's this mate?

[hollow vortex]

Read it, and you'll know lol

[upbeat shuttle]

they might be allergic to reading

[weak river]

I already told him about your trick but he is not going to try 😂

[neon blade]

this is against the rules

of salad

[modern panther]

how do you know

where source

[neon blade]

said by angaros,ozua and every mod in this fkn server

[modern panther]

message link

[modern panther]

@upbeat shuttle is he factual

[frigid reef]

he is

[modern panther]

okay

[chilly peak]

it's likely against the tos

since you are messing with salad

[neon blade]

salad is broken tbh

it doesnt even get the actual speed the speedtest is saying

i get 35 up in librespeed.org but 2 in ndm

same server

no usage of any other apps

[frigid reef]

pov: person finds out about salad using bad speed test after many people complaining about it already

[neon blade]

..

the thing bad speedtest i get it

but the speed the actual speedtest is showing the salad isnt showing

look at this

now my ndm same server has 2 upload

the same speedtest

salad cant even make it anymore worse

because its the same speedtest

[frigid reef]

yes we get it, nothing we can do about it

[upbeat shuttle]

it's probably not a workaround that we can 'officially' recommend

[tepid smelt]

isn’t there a way to change the server it goes to

like the server it does the speedtest from

[jovial fiber]

may be it's against tos but it doesn't really change anything

[tepid smelt]

i just restart salad a bunch of times until it eventually goes above 10 upload

[jovial fiber]

just go up few message (but keep in mind that's against salad tos)

[tepid smelt]

oh

i’m fine restarting salad a dozen times anyways

[jovial fiber]

dozen ;-;

[reef linden]

bw sharing for Germany when#

[peak terrace]

[white knot]

i saw 466 mbps the highest 4 me

ofc i meant sgs

[wheat bronze]

100 for me

[hollow vortex]

Bruh that ping omg

[wheat bronze]

sheesh

[hollow vortex]

The whole speed test thing guys - it's salads problem. Not yours. They don't want to listen to the chefs and see theirs an issue. That's their loss. And will stop them from being better and provider better service for clients .

End of the day - there loss.

[weak river]

can someone help me in #community-support it's related to bandwidth

[crude charm]

then when is it getting fixed??

[frigid reef]

salad said they were looking at other speed tests, other then that we got no clue

[pseudo fog]

nah its for both chefs and salad

L

[hollow vortex]

More theirs then yours .

[safe loom]

it isn’t

if it was they would have been banning people and would’ve patched it in the last 2 updates

also logically speaker it isn’t bad either

it’s just doing what salad isn’t to get an accurate speedtest, it’s not like you’re spoofing your speed all-together

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah you can't exactly spoof your speed with this

you can only make your speeds worse, or the same as the maximum that your ISP allows

[upbeat shuttle]

they'd probably have to specifically be looking out for modification of the yaml file, not something they'd pick up automatically currently

[safe loom]

i mean salads part for correctly configuring the speedtest

especially after most users reporting a bad speed on 1 server compared to others

it wouldn’t hurt to perform a few tests on different servers and use the best test or use the 3 numbers as average

unless the engineers have the most unorganised code ever it’s not too difficult

instead they’re updating bugs like 1 at a time instead of 1 big hot fix

having 3 updates in ~9 days is dumb when you could have an update each month

[shrewd terrace]

I lost my bw job

[neon blade]

so u say i should do it?

[safe loom]

well im not saying that

im just saying it shouldn't be against the workload rules

[frigid reef]

some of the bugs are only being found till after the update is out

[gleaming shell]

i have a job just very low paying

[shrewd terrace]

[safe loom]

the update bug has been apart of salad for ages man

its like an iceberg place

[pseudo fog]

Ur right ima make salad iceberg

[gleaming shell]

sald ic e brg when

[fossil hinge]

hes on the other side of the world

[foggy mica]

going back 🆙

[waxen pollen]

This may useful to those that also BWS

[white knot]

well ive done the restarting salad method tons of time 2 ensure sgs will run on my pc whatsoever

every time i restart my pc or so

[pseudo fog]

the fact thats basically all in the pins

[gleaming shell]

Woah a support system that's not talking to a brick wall like roblox support

[waxen pollen]

it maybe just because there's not enough places right now. As the salad rep said in the email i've sown. I've done everything that is suggested too. and only 1 of my 3 devices have sgs running.

[waxen pollen]

😅 never played it, and likely never will

[fringe gazelle]

after new update my bandwidth has been stopped working and perfomance is degreaded is coming any idea how to solve it

[white knot]

18gb within 3 hrs

today bw is insanely good

even better than with gpu con. rn even tho it isnt here 4 now

[upbeat shuttle]

you had my hopes up

all that stuff is already covered in the pinned posts 😔

[waxen pollen]

ahh sorry, my bad 😄 people don't always look in the pinned 😅

[little saffron]

[modern panther]

skill issue

[waxen pollen]

nope. it's like why people don't read contracts/TOS before accepting the download or such.

[modern panther]

massive skill issue

just read the contract smh

[waxen pollen]

so you read everything you accept then? even within games

[modern panther]

i dont want someone sneaking in line 743897123: by downloading this you agree to us logging your home address and taking your organs

[waxen pollen]

and in most first world counties, that would be illegal and or wouldn't hold up as a defence in a court of law.

[modern panther]

what why not 😭

its stated in the contract

[waxen pollen]

because most first world countries have laws and morels

[modern panther]

i think its perfectly moral for someone to sneak in a line like that into a contract

[waxen pollen]

ive heard of court cases like that and the company lost

you can't just put anything in a contract and it be legally binding. There are limits

if you sign this contract, your family will get all their debts paid off, but you have to die first. But your honour, they signed a contract. Just nope,

[waxen pollen]

also don't be a troll 😄

it's un-becoming lmao

[modern panther]

wdym thats perfectly fine

they agreed to dying

How do I check my wifi speed according to salads perspective?

[modern panther]

go to salad logs folder then ndm folder then the latest file

Oh

I actually didn't know that salad checks wifi too lol

[modern panther]

why wouldn't they

[woven sage]

am i being dumb?

is it supposed to do that?

it didnt do that before

[pulsar arrow]

why the hell are you restarting salad processes

[gleaming shell]

Probs re-running the speedtest bc librespeed bad

[woven sage]

yeah

precisely

i keep getting viriginia

whcih gives me dogshit speeds

[gleaming shell]

Yeah Virginia sucks ass

I get good download speeds
But the upload is so bad
I've gotten 0.5 upload before

[woven sage]

so around 9 gb 4 the last 3 hrs

[gleaming shell]

wait youre in the us right?

or are you in the uk

[white knot]

jp

🥱

[gleaming shell]

im in the us and bandwidth has been pretty sucky lately
cant complain tho i atleast have sgs in the first place

[gleaming shell]

oh

[white knot]

but this gonna goes an end

cuz i have 2 give it a repair cuz i cant update windows and with anything req. connect the internet (microsoft releted apps & teamviewer only)

[gleaming shell]

damn rip

[white knot]

this might be an issue y i cant have gpu con. whatsoever

earned around 25%-30% more than usual

[gleaming shell]

dayujm

im currently using bandwidth sharing and cpu mining

[white knot]

gpu mining + cpu con. + bw here

[gleaming shell]

i cant run gpu containers bc 1650ti containers are very low in demand

ill enable gpu once theres more demand

[white knot]

everything except bw only consists of around 45cents/day earnings

[gleaming shell]

oh hi chromebook mine

r

[pseudo fog]

remember when we could cpu mine on salad

[gleaming shell]

tbh they should have not removed that

they should have added an option to disable cpu mining

instead of removing it

[pseudo fog]

disable mining at all*

[gleaming shell]

yeha

yeah

[pseudo fog]

it also caused a big confusion for those who call salad and everything to it mining

[gleaming shell]

eyah

yeah

[pseudo fog]

(Example: bandwidth mining, container mining etc)

[gleaming shell]

"bandwidth mining"
"container minin"

[pseudo fog]

lmfao

[gleaming shell]

damn you said it before me

[white knot]

disk/power supply mining when

[gleaming shell]

psu mining when

[white knot]

💀

[pseudo fog]

did u know that the more ram allocated on xmrig, the more ur hashrate

if i have 90% usage and 2.3gb usage itll run at max

but 90% usage and 400mb is basically light mining

[gleaming shell]

huh how do you get it to allocate more ram

[pseudo fog]

and thats also a built in option

[gleaming shell]

mine uses very little

[pseudo fog]

you dont

it uses as much as it can

anyway

i use that light mining mode when im using my chromebook and mining on it

[white knot]

adding more ram

[gleaming shell]

huh according to task manager its only using up 3.5mb of ram

[pseudo fog]

containers when i had a pc actually used more than xmrig

so idk bout ur stateme

[gleaming shell]

im getting ~110hs

[pseudo fog]

ur cpu good ahh

silent, ur cpu is basically an i4 11th gen

[gleaming shell]

i4?

[pseudo fog]

i said i4 cuz thats not the i5 level but better than i3

[gleaming shell]

oh

Can anyone help fix degraded salad ?

Does sgs work on 1.1.2

V

?

[pulsar arrow]

Haven't been caught up on the salad train

is everyone degraded?

my salad ain't even updated to 1.1.3 💀

[little saffron]

haha tf

[little saffron]

seems

i dont get sgs

[little saffron]

do you got sgs on 1.1.2?

[pulsar arrow]

I'm not running it rn

waiting for my new internet

[little saffron]

[upbeat shuttle]

mmm you should ideally be on the latest version, v1.1.4

any versions prior to that will either not work or will crash when they try to auto update

[little saffron]

1.1.4 got the degraded problem

[magic herald]

hey can someone help me?

nvm nobody is going to help in this server, bad support, bad community 🙂

[little saffron]

wtf

we all need help here

[magic herald]

I contacted official support but they are bots, they are saying me to download v1.0.8 🤷‍♂️

just copy paste 🤷‍♂️

[little saffron]

no

?

[magic herald]

yes they are bots

check #community-support

everytime we get reply from Mark and Kat, bot names

[little saffron]

these arent bots

[magic herald]

why copy paste mail everytime?

[little saffron]

because you ask the same every time

[magic herald]

no, I asked different everytime

[little saffron]

mmh

[magic herald]

any why they will say me to download 1.0.8 when latest version is 1.1.4

they forgot to update bot msgs xd

[little saffron]

from when is the email

[magic herald]

yesterday

[little saffron]

mh

[magic herald]

@little saffron read that msg which I replied to

[kindred helm]

bye tc

[upbeat shuttle]

They're not bots, they've just thought smarter, not harder, and have prewritten responses

just like the pinned posts in the support channels

[upbeat shuttle]

also it'd be nice if you could ask your question rather than giving up after a couple minutes after asking to ask

[magic herald]

already asked in community support, they told me to come here

[upbeat shuttle]

you still didn't ask your question

[modern panther]

what's his question

[upbeat shuttle]

i guess we'll never know

[magic herald]

well I asked you, and you are fking blind that you didn't saw my question

[modern panther]

since when did you ask me

do you have dementia

[magic herald]

go check your fkin #community-support you blind

How To Find Your Salad Logs!

Here is an up to date guide on how to locate your Log files!
https://support.salad.com/article/180-how-to-find-your-salad-log-files

[magic herald]

@upbeat shuttle I am asking last time! ok? see bw sharing came in my country and I got sgs-client.exe for testing, and everytime I was getting sgs-client.exe for testing, but from last 2-3 days I am not getting sgs-client, I have good internet speed, and many users are getting sgs-client with less speed than mine, only I1 thing happened that day my router got restarted, since then I am not getting sgs-client, but before too my router restarted many times but I didn't faced this issue

[magic herald]

wait I have to run test again, I just reinstalled salad

[safe loom]

what country are you in?

[magic herald]

India

[safe loom]

well it’s in testing

it’s not released

[magic herald]

sorry but I have asked so many times about this but no body helped, and Sorry I forgot to ping you

[safe loom]

so you shouldn’t expect it to behave like countries that have it

[magic herald]

but I was getting everytime, what happened now?

[upbeat shuttle]

There is no guarantee that you'll get bandwidth sharing jobs in countries that are in testing, let alone countries that are supported.
Anyways I'd recommend checking the pinned Minimum Requirements post that has some useful links to check if your IP address is in the right country / has a low fraud score / is residential

[safe loom]

it’s in testing, that means it’s in testing where salad is running tests on the network, so it’s not guaranteed to give you jobs like other countries

[pulsar arrow]

wow you both said the same thing but worded different

[magic herald]

@safe loomcurrenly I am on wifi, I don't have ethernet connected, ethernet is connected to my other system which is in work, so I can't send you exact speed which I get using ethernet, will it be fine?

[pulsar arrow]

Just send it

the logs

[safe loom]

it doesn’t seem like your speed is a problem, it just sounds like you haven’t gotten a job

[magic herald]

but I am not even getting testing one, I am not talking about real job

[safe loom]

you need to be selected for that testing job, and you may not be selected currently

best you can do is continue waiting

[magic herald]

sad 😦

and those who still have job if they try to stop and resume again will they have testing one or not?

that's not I usually get from ethernet

it's from wifi that's why speed are low

[upbeat shuttle]

that ping is a bit yikes

[magic herald]

everyone in India have that ping

and I have the lowest

@shrewd terracewhat's your ping?

[upbeat shuttle]

Salad advertises less than 100ms to their customers, so yours is probably too high

[magic herald]

well that's not lowest, my lowest is 120ms

really?

[magic herald]

but everyone have that ping, I saw it myself

and they have jobs too

wtf

and those who have job how much ping they are getting?

[safe loom]

virginia server is broken

[magic herald]

@shrewd terracevirginia with airtel (wifi) 💀

[safe loom]

virginia server is what gives everyone bad speedtest

[magic herald]

but I was getting sgs on germany server and I had 120ms ping and I was getting real jobs too, 0.06 cents/15 min

[safe loom]

you can change the server in the workload file but “it’s not recommended”

[magic herald]

ik, but I can't get virginia there

I get franfurk and nuremberg

and london somehow

[magic herald]

ok I will try that, let's see

once I get my ethernet free

@shrewd terraceone question do airtel users really get lower ping on virginia server?

can you run the test on librespeed website and send me

can you send me your logs?

and when your friends lost sgs? 2-3 days ago or today?

are you sure you didn't edited your ping?

you live in India then how you're getting 1ms ping on virginia us? wtf

[safe loom]

the ping doesn’t matter in the speedtest

[magic herald]

@upbeat shuttle said that

it matters

[safe loom]

well yes, but no

your ping matters for the job

but australia has bandwidth sharing but there’s no australian librespeed server

[magic herald]

I have airtel too, I live in India too, but my ping are always high on virginia, I will try forcing method and try to connect to virginia server in ndm

[safe loom]

you’ll have high ping because your are far away?

you’re in india and virginia is in the US

[magic herald]

so there are less chances of me getting sgs-client testing one, so if I kept my salad running will I get real job, or those who have testing one will only get real job?

[magic herald]

but how lilpolis have 1ms ping? he also lives in India

[safe loom]

i don’t think there are any real jobs on the network for india as of now

[magic herald]

there is, I was getting real job, sgs was using my bw, and I was getting paid for that

I was getting about 0.04/15 min avg

and max peak was 0.06

[safe loom]

how are you so sure it wasn’t a test?

[magic herald]

in glasswire I checked host ip

[safe loom]

bandwidth sharing hasn’t been released in india, it’s only known that testing is happening there

[magic herald]

that ip was of akamai technologies

[safe loom]

yes Linode

like every other ip people have looked up with glasswire

in india

[magic herald]

ok

so that wasn't real job?

[safe loom]

i doubt it

[magic herald]

hmm

[safe loom]

as i’ll say again indian bandwidth sharing is in testing it is not released

[magic herald]

is there any rough figure how many users are getting testing one? and how many test salad rolled out?

currently I am earning 0 from salad, I lost sgs, and cpu containers are also not working

[safe loom]

we would have no clue

[magic herald]

ok thanks for helping

thank god you're not like @modern panther

worst person I have met

[modern panther]

skill issue

[magic herald]

yeah your

[safe loom]

i doubt it

[magic herald]

@upbeat shuttle he is spreading misinformation about his ping, he lives in India and he is saying he is getting 1ms ping on virginia, I think he is editing his logs and sending fake logs

@shrewd terrace send me your old logs

[safe loom]

those sound like perfect testloads to me

ok?

[magic herald]

you didn't told me that

[safe loom]

australia is fully released and i get 30 cents a day

[magic herald]

you told if you have airtel you will get less ping on US server?

[safe loom]

jio routing?
