Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[peak terrace]

you know when the

he lives again

[robust creek]

it's MY turn 👁️ 🥗

isp dashboard graph

! rare moment recorded

[subtle swallow]

Who hates it when Virginia servers take a doodoo on your upload

[gleaming shell]

Me

[subtle swallow]

I definitely do lol

[gleaming shell]

Virginia servers more virshitnia servers

[subtle swallow]

True

[robust creek]

rome server shows 5mbps up even if you have 300mbps xd i need to speedtest using a germany server to get good up

[subtle swallow]

I need to get either Atlanta or La servers for a good upload because with 200 on download it gives me 5 upload xd

[peak terrace]

my router does not have such luxuries

[robust creek]

it's not router, it's isp dashboard

[subtle swallow]

Also, why do I get 300 Mbps on Speedtest if I get provided 1 gig 🤔

[peak terrace]

my isp dashboard does not have such luxuries

[robust creek]

to check invoices, pay invoices, check used bw etc

[robust creek]

ah

shows ping between modem and isp server too xd

[robust creek]

bye traffic it was nice until it lasted

[tardy swan]

crazy

[safe loom]

my bandwidth stopped randomly like 12 hours ago but it’s ok

[peak terrace]

i eated it

[quiet gazelle]

my bandwith hasnt started ever

[woven sage]

truly

[woven sage]

mine just comes and goes as it pleases

[vagrant dirge]

Same

And it hasn't started since

[woven sage]

Skill Issue

[woven sage]

@safe loom

Is there an event going on rn?

Are ppl streaming an event or smthn

[safe loom]

dunno

[woven sage]

jobs going on forever

[safe loom]

i got nothing

but thats probably cause i was downloading cod at 700mbps

[vagrant dirge]

I'm getting nothing too

[lucid lily]

i feel u bro

nothing for over 2 days

[woven sage]

lol

which one

[safe loom]

call of duty modern warfare 3

[woven sage]

oh it just releases

is it any good?

i stopped keeping track of cod some time ago

[civic fern]

Have fun with SBMM

[hollow vortex]

same shit as mw2 legit ,

not even worth 10$

[pulsar arrow]

oh damn your running GPU containers now?

[tardy swan]

yeah

borrowing a 3070

[robust creek]

back to normal, static pay 24/7

[short notch]

eeh...

[strong robin]

static payyyy

[peak terrace]

it would appear as if bandwidth sharing only works on one device per IP now

also static pay

[upbeat shuttle]

since when was this a bandwidth sharing complaining thread

[safe loom]

probably not true

[peak terrace]

i have observed this over the past few months

previously sgs would start on all three of my devices within at maximum a day

[upbeat shuttle]

I've been running bw sharing on like 4 pcs for the past few months

well, 3 on one isp, 1 on the other

[peak terrace]

now only one device wants to start, and if i turn off the device which is running sgs it will start on another device

[safe loom]

with the current standing

both machines are running bandwidth in my house

so

ratio

[peak terrace]

a ratio of what

what proportionality

[safe loom]

a ratio of you’re wrong i’m right

[peak terrace]

1:-1

inverse proportionality

[upbeat shuttle]

sounds like it's just a you issue

[peak terrace]

probably

[hollow vortex]

sinse always . where have you been

[jovial fiber]

bandwidth sharing use too much data !

[upbeat shuttle]

bandwidth sharing pays too much!

[jovial fiber]

bandwidth sharing use too much electricity !

[robust creek]

?

[peak terrace]

these are jokes

[merry raft]

not more then container

[patent fulcrum]

I briefly was able to experience what it felt like to be bri'ish

[gleaming shell]

average sgs client fucking itself every 2 seconds moment

good thing is 70 percent of the time it does revive by itself tho

[peak terrace]

the relief i felt when I saw this spike was so profound it made my heart palpitate

[naive lava]

complains are everywhere in this server

[peak terrace]

finally double sgs

on my pc and server

only took an entire week

[naive lava]

worth it?

[peak terrace]

there was no investment

yes it is worth it

maybe a time investment because i had to wait

[naive lava]

[peak terrace]

cat

[true halo]

i haven't had a bw job in like... weeks, still don't have any

[naive lava]

u confident with py right

tell me one good use of the setdefault() function

[true halo]

you good at not pinging random people at random things in the wrong channel when you the person you're pinging hasn't mentioned anything related to what you're asking about

go to #community-support and ask there, but don't ping anyone, just wait

Honestly I wish discord had a feature that removed the ability for people to ping you.

[naive lava]

wtf bro it's a genuine question, and mb wrong channel

[naive lava]

idgaf

[true halo]

why did you need to ping me

[naive lava]

gosh ok

pls answer my question atleast

[true halo]

have some fucking respect

ask your question in a regular community support channel, and wait for someone to respond

[naive lava]

my goodness

why u mad

there's no rule that u can't ping somebody

especially when u have something to ask or say specifically to that dude, it should make sense

just tell me that u don;t like getting pinged

and i wont

[true halo]

So you think it's fine to just walk up to someone who is minding their own business, doing their own thing, nudge them and ask a random question completely unrelated to anything they're currently doing?

[naive lava]

that's what i call, asking

:/

[safe loom]

stay respectful dawg

[true halo]

A very disrespectful way of doing it

[safe loom]

just say "please dont ping me"

[naive lava]

exactly

[safe loom]

dont have to be a dick instigating an argument

[true halo]

I did that, whilst also telling them what to do to get help

this is going nowhere, cut it, go ask your question in #community-support

[naive lava]

your bio said that you were confident with py, so i decided to ask u

[jovial fiber]

'-'

meanwhile sgs laughing in the back

[naive lava]

my node quality would be horrible rn

my laptop's battery has become weak now

and shutdown can be anytime

no sgs anyways

[peak terrace]

i disconnected the battery from my laptop so it isn't pinned to 100% charge

that laptop has no ability to limit maximum charge

[naive lava]

that just makes it a computer

[peak terrace]

its a laptop with a disconnected battery

[naive lava]

and im not even sure if my battery is disconnectable

[peak terrace]

it is a computer either way

it is

[naive lava]

well i gotta do some internal work for that

scary stuff

[peak terrace]

scary?

[naive lava]

accidently broke the lid hinge on my old laptop while exploring it's internals

[peak terrace]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/521805095801847828/1130855998098243595/IMG_20230709_171312264.jpg?ex=655cb2b8&is=654a3db8&hm=7e3108dd75eec21fc0e0476de643309835609f5d7ad75a36e6dc2b35837eafea&

just unplug the connector

ezpz

[naive lava]

whatever

ill try to learn how to do it tho

cuz i rlly need to clean it from the inside

gotta be like a wool of dust in there

[clever hollow]

anything about the shitty bw release? in testing countries? my 1gig internet is waiting to be acquired

[peak terrace]

any information regarding countries supported by bandwidth sharing will be updated in pins as soon as it comes out

keep checking the pins in this thread and you will see what countries are supported

in other words

[upbeat shuttle]

If you're on about India, still no info

[naive lava]

actually, it's been quite a while

since bw sharing has been testing here in India

atleast we get jobs so i don't complain 👍

[analog patio]

how rare are the jobs

[safe loom]

i hate when manufacturers line their connectors

because 90% of the companies that do, also void warranty the second they’re touched

[robust creek]

well that was a nice surprise, but it stopped completely after

[naive lava]

u get one within a day max

sometimes, u don't even get jobs for whatsoever reason, since it's still in testing in here

and bw sharing jobs are not always guaranteed anyways

[safe loom]

the economy is booming lads

[peak terrace]

This laptop is 8 years old so I don't really care about the warranty

[zinc pollen]

What is "context deadline exceeded" error?

[robust creek]

Pc rebooted... Sgs lost...

[zinc pollen]

I was using my pc when it happened

[peak terrace]

something took too long to process

[zinc pollen]

[hollow vortex]

Did you expect to keep sgs while the PC was rebooting ? C'mon

[robust creek]

other countries does, yes

italy no

[true halo]

How do you know that? I'm fairly certain everywhere you just lose the job

[robust creek]

from people flexing here

[true halo]

So people have been talking about restarting their pc and getting the exact same job?

Are you sure they didn't just immediately get a new one?

I'm fairly certain you can't verify if a job is the same or not.

[hollow vortex]

No, everything shuts down on a reboot. They just happen to get a job right away

[hollow vortex]

I don't think you can 100% tell if it's the same , could be wrong but I found same ips connected after a reboot haven't looked for identical info further then that , in the logs cause I don't really care that much lol.

Ppl interrupt info however they want , and sometimes is wrong , and don't use common sense

[true halo]

it may just be they get the same job again, but have to start it again because everything was rebooted.

[peak terrace]

no

when you reboot and sgs starts again it creates an whole new session

it doesn't continue old sessions

from what i figure

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

you don't keep your job, but you can get lucky and get another job quickly

[peak terrace]

salad is intact again

no longer relying on gpu mining

[robust creek]

wait there is a new update? i dont understand

[pulsar arrow]

it's encouragement to start chopping with whatever you've got

[outer anchor]

How can I enable bandwidth sharing in salad?

[hollow vortex]

us bw ftw!

[onyx fiber]

how long does it take to find a job

bandwith

[upbeat shuttle]

it takes as long as it takes

it's basically impossible to predict Salad's customers' demand for our bandwidth

[shrewd terrace]

lol bri'ish

[main stirrup]

Hi, why my internet sharing nothing ? I live in France

[dry carbon]

hmm

[dry carbon]

show ndm logs

[main stirrup]

How ? 😅

[dry carbon]

1 min

@main stirrup

click on show logs

ur latest file

[main stirrup]

Okay

Okay yes

i send it ?

[dry carbon]

yea

the ndm log

delete the file

it has ue ip dude

[main stirrup]

Sorry

[dry carbon]

Your
Download rate: 320.06 Mbps
Upload rate: 111.78 Mbps

you should get it soon wait tbh

cuz @spare flint got all the traffic

[main stirrup]

Great thanks, do you know how long it takes?

[main stirrup]

lol xDDD

[dry carbon]

it depends from instant to 8 weeks like me

[main stirrup]

Can I install Salad on a lousy PC with 4gb of ram and no graphics card just to sell the connection, would it work?

[upbeat shuttle]

Sure

Assuming you're in a country that's supported for Bandwidth Sharing, and its connection is decent

[dry carbon]

Would it be profitable without BW jobs - No

[main stirrup]

This should be the case (France and good connection) I will try it right away, thanks to you guys!

[main stirrup]

BW ?

[jovial fiber]

BW = Bandwidth

In France with these speeds if you run salad often you should get sgs in few hours (but it can take a lot more..)

[main stirrup]

Thanks ! and do you have an estimate of how much it pays?

[gleaming shell]

its thursday

meaning salad update at any time

[spare flint]

Im sure not.
I have 600Mbps DL/UP ISP connection.
But i have only 190Go to 400Go bandwith traffic per day by sgs-client. (UP+DL)
=> average UL = 1.126 to 2.4 Mbps

I stay connect / keep SGS connected full time 24/7.
then, i earn average 0.9$/day with BW

[main stirrup]

What is ur software on the right ?

[gleaming shell]

Glasswire

[main stirrup]

Le truc à gauche ?

[main stirrup]

Okay thank

[spare flint]

GlassWire : monitor and firewall app

[upbeat shuttle]

The thing on the left is Task Manager. The thing on the right is Glasswire.

[main stirrup]

Ok thank you ! Do you know what the minimum connection required for salad is?

[upbeat shuttle]

The minimum speed is usually 10mbps for upload and download speeds

[main stirrup]

Okay, the best and more I guess?

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah the better your speeds are, the more you can potentially earn

[main stirrup]

Okay thank you

One device per IP i suppose

[peak terrace]

as many devices per IP as there are gateways in your country

in the UK there are 4 gateways, so you could theoretically run it on 4 devices at once

i am currently running two devices, my PC and server

[main stirrup]

Okay, how do I go about seeing France?

[peak terrace]

i am not sure how many there are in france

you would just have to wait for sgs-client.exe to start running and after a while you will collect log folders for all the gateways

[main stirrup]

Ohhh okay, thank you !How much do you manage to earn?

[upbeat shuttle]

^

2 for france

[main stirrup]

Thank you !!

[zinc pollen]

7 for the uk

[peak terrace]

2x bw sharing + 1x cpu container

[main stirrup]

Oh very nice !

[peak terrace]

i have been using this service for a while

[main stirrup]

Do you think it's a good idea to invest in equipment to use Salad?

[main stirrup]

Oh wow 1275$ !!!!

[peak terrace]

i would say no because i would not consider salad to be a reliable source of income

[main stirrup]

Yep, sure

[peak terrace]

imagine you spend loads of money on a RTX 4090 just for salad and then one day salad goes bankrupt and you invested in a GPU for nothing

the same applies with internet packages for example

i wouldn't invest in things specifically for salad

[main stirrup]

Yes, I said the same thing to myself

[upbeat shuttle]

Yeah you should consider your use cases before considering Salad

[peak terrace]

for me I am not reliant on salad in any way, I just use it for getting small things on amazon and for discord nitro, I think you should never rely on it for anything as its so unpredictable

[upbeat shuttle]

Like I got my 3090 because I could render my own SD images, or do funny AI stuff, or play games with it (though currently it's solely being used for salad )

[peak terrace]

likewise why I am getting a 4070

[zinc pollen]

is there any info on uae gateways?

[peak terrace]

I want to do AI model training and play games, salad is a nice bonus but not the reason i'm getting it

i do not believe so

[upbeat shuttle]

wait why does the 4070 only have 12gb of VRAM

[peak terrace]

at least it's not 8gb like the 3070

[upbeat shuttle]

or 12gb like the 3060-- oh wait

[peak terrace]

only 12gb vram is the reaosn i wanted to also heavily consider a 7800XT as well

16gb mmmmmmmm

[upbeat shuttle]

or 11gb like the 2080ti and even 1080ti

[main stirrup]

Yes me too, but then you have to see if it is profitable with the cost of electricity

[peak terrace]

for me I break even easily as the electrical circuit for my bedroom is solar powered during the day, so it runs basically for free

and also I avoid gpu mining which is the most energy inefficient

[spare flint]

salad peak are more than 1 Gbps DL to charge container and start them.
BW peak are 350 Mbps DL and UP in France

[safe loom]

why is australia here

😭

[peak terrace]

aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi

[upbeat shuttle]

unlucky

demoted to testing

[peak terrace]

internet is saturated

i am making more pennies than usual

[robust creek]

95% surely there will be an update today, are you ready guys?

[gleaming shell]

probably gonna be an update lol

[main stirrup]

Does internet sharing work even if the PC is too crap?

[peak terrace]

if your cpu is detected properly and your internet is good enough yes

[main stirrup]

25MPS up AND 25dl IS ENOUGHT ?

[peak terrace]

yes

but make sure salad is actually detecting that speed

[main stirrup]

How ?

[peak terrace]

C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\ndm

open the most recently made log file in notepad and check what speed it is recording

if it over 10mbps for upload and download you are good to go

[main stirrup]

OKay, thank you !

[main stirrup]

I have between 8 and 17mbps, good ?

[peak terrace]

it will have to be above 10mbps

[dry carbon]

bro

vmmemWSL uses like 3gb ram but no earnings

[upbeat shuttle]

this is the bandwidth sharing thread

but to half help you, vmmem running isn't necessarily an indicator that you've actually currently got a container job running

it could be preparing to run a job, doing updates, or because it didn't clean up after itself after a previous job finished

[clever hollow]

dm me

[peak terrace]

https://tenor.com/view/no-gif-22669238

[pearl rain]

guys i have a question

[clever hollow]

You may ask.

[pearl rain]

wait im finding the screenshot ahah

i got this from my speed test

but i cant get bandwith job cause salad turn this into this

[clever hollow]

Salad doesnt use this software to determine your speed.

[pearl rain]

so i cant use bandwith?

[clever hollow]

You sure can

I suggest you restart your pc

[pearl rain]

with 4 mbs upload never got a job

in months

[clever hollow]

Since you are not meeting the requirements.

[pearl rain]

you think its a bug then?

[clever hollow]

Which nation do you belong.

[pearl rain]

im italian

[clever hollow]

Librespeed has some issues with registering upload.

All I can suggest is restart your pc.

It will run the speed test again.

[pearl rain]

im restarting but i dont think that it will work

[clever hollow]

As i said, Only its rare.

[clever hollow]

Works for me..Might as well give it a try.

[pearl rain]

i did

wait a sec

nah same shit

1.80 upload speed

i just dont get it

i just cant use bandwith i see

[clever hollow]

nah dude

curse libreshit instead

keep trying eventually it might select a different server

[civic fern]

It's not even librespeed itself the problem

Rather, the version that salad uses

[clever hollow]

[pearl rain]

how do i select another server?

it keeps saying 2 mbs

1 time i have gone in germany and it was ok

how i can change the server

[clever hollow]

Well keep restarting it will select a new server everytime you restart.

Or might as well select the shitty one.

[pearl rain]

fuck that shit

[civic fern]

you might modify a specific .yaml file inside the salad/workloads/ndm folder, but afaik, salad might do some modification checks and not allow you to get anything anyway

because of course, the solution to fix a problem is NOT ALLOW YOUR USERS TO FIX THAT PROBLEM

BECAUSE "YOU" (salad) CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO SOLVE SUCH LITTLE THING

[hollow vortex]

What ? Salad fix something ? When 🤣

[jovial fiber]

*salad/worload-definitions/ndm

[merry raft]

lol

[gleaming shell]

me when salad refuses to fix the problems themselves (just some simple more text can already solve a big part of it) and we get banned if we try to fix it ourselves

But then they do stuff like removing the CPU and GPU temps from the performance tab

[civic fern]

thanks

does it show my point though?

[hollow vortex]

Wasn't even that accurate

Nope .

[gleaming shell]

I don't remember tbh lol, never really changed anything when I found out I could get banned

[gleaming shell]

Actually you're right it still wasn't accurate lol

[robust creek]

i'm italian and from other italian experiences, if you don't have gigabit connection you won't even earn static pay, so it's even useless trying to get a nice speedtest if you only have 20mbps up

[peak terrace]

it does seem as if salad has paused itself again on my server

[jovial fiber]

i agree with you

[main stirrup]

why is this sharing pc no connection?

[tardy swan]

???

[safe loom]

you're gonna need to be more specfic

but rdp apps can cause salad to think you're not a real machine and not let workloads function properly

[spark adder]

What are r dp apps

[safe loom]

remote desktop protocol

[peak terrace]

I did not know this

are there any specific problematic programs?

I only use chrome remote desktop

[safe loom]

i think they mentioned specfic ones somewhere

chrome rdp has no problems afaik

[quiet gazelle]

what about steam link

[safe loom]

should be fine as well

[pearl rain]

bruh i mean

i got 1 cents per hour

wtf is this shit

where they are gonna get container for amd xD

[upbeat shuttle]

bandwidth channel

crazy

[chilly peak]

it's apps that specifically use the RDP protocol

[robust creek]

some traff

[peak terrace]

why are the colours like that

[upbeat shuttle]

i think it's some weird dark mode extension

[peak terrace]

mine does not do that

[upbeat shuttle]

you don't have the weird dark mode extension then

😱

[peak terrace]

it is not even an extension

it is built into my browser

every chromium based browser has it built in

[civic fern]

Every copium based browser has it built in

[safe loom]

opera gx

such an awful browser

[clever hollow]

same problem here

[clever hollow]

legit

[waxen pollen]

it has some good things to it

but i moved to brave

that with a Pi4 running Adguard plus

[chilly peak]

it's mostly horrible though

[rocky orbit]

subjective

[twin vector]

Operagx uses more ram than brave. And the ram limiter doesn't help when it makes the browser run like crap cause it wants 4gb of ram but only has 2gb

[little saffron]

does star chef changes bandwith too ?

hows uk bandwith atm

and wich countrys are best atm

[true halo]

then don't use it.

oop sorry for the ping limisch

[little saffron]

[upbeat shuttle]

no

you can get star chef with just running bandwidth sharing, but it doesn't increase your earnings/luck or anything

[peak terrace]

star chef is only for containers

[little saffron]

Gay

[peak terrace]

happy indeed

[little saffron]

And how traffic in uk ?

Or other country

[topaz dagger]

how do u increase it then?

[peak terrace]

okay so sgs just killed itself on my pc

first time that's ever happened

[upbeat shuttle]

run Salad for longer, i guess

getting better internet or moving country isn't exactly an easy ask

[safe loom]

vmware will directly affect containers

though i think its old versions

pretty sure newer versions are fine

[subtle condor]

that's correct for me, on an older version of VMware, Salad Containers wouldn't earn anything but after updating VMware they earn fine.

[white knot]

happens 2 me all the time i dont c a single problem here really

cope, my dear briish guy

hmm its kinda dead here i wonder y

[peak terrace]

I stole your jobs

[white knot]

how

my ip isnt in uk wdym by dat

[robust creek]

ah i noticed it now

so even bw guys gets it

[topaz dagger]

yes but it doesnt affect bw jobs unfortunately

[narrow tiger]

no fuycking way

[hollow vortex]

Lol yeah, usually weekends 1 to 1.50 24 hrs

[jovial fiber]

yes

[tardy swan]

that's nice

perfect

[short notch]

tale the survey HAHA

[static vapor]

what countries is it supported in blawg!

[upbeat shuttle]

read the pins blawg!

^^

[static vapor]

yeah i did so sad!

[hollow vortex]

Welcome to salad 🤣

[topaz dagger]

low for me rn tho

[subtle condor]

couldn't relate

[green dragon]

i want to tale the survey

[topaz dagger]

crazy

[peak terrace]

he stepped up

[sweet nacelle]

wtf

I tried re opening it too

Wont budge

what to do my wifi is pretty fast

[safe loom]

nothing you can really do but restart your pc until you get over 10/10

librespeed sucks

and i have no idea why they still use it

[sweet nacelle]

LFG

But no sgs client yet

[safe loom]

#1021501189977813002 message

[sweet nacelle]

Im in the us :<

[sweet nacelle]

even librespeed online gets good result

its the same exact virginia server too

i got 10mbps upload once out of luck but cant anymore

[silk wraith]

Exactly same thing here in Canada. Just upgraded to 1gbps. On wifi atm, but still can reach 500+ up. I don't even see upload activity in task manager network. Just does nothing. Virginia server.

[gleaming shell]

Exact same here in the us with Virginia servers

All other servers also shit but Virginia servers don't even try uploading so it shows like idk 6mbps upload on my actual 500mbps upload

[shrewd terrace]

salad's librespeed is broken on virginia server (and possibly a few others)

[quick anchor]

what is bw sharing? something of internet?

what is your pfp and pronouns, XD

i am new to salad

and dc

[upbeat shuttle]

Sharing your internet bandwidth

the pinned posts here explain it pretty well

^^

[quick anchor]

thanks

[stiff vale]

Is that bandwidth sharing or mining?

[tardy swan]

Look at the screenshot above

[stiff vale]

What's your region?

Have you done something to increase the earnings or something?

I get high earnings when I leave me pc on in the night

[hollow vortex]

Lol that's so tiny for a few minutes .

[tardy swan]

🤓

[tardy swan]

Yeah

I held ozua at gunpoint

[topaz dagger]

😭

[merry raft]

[robust creek]

traffic doesnt exist anymore

[upbeat shuttle]

demand changes

sob

[peak terrace]

it picked up for me

[hollow vortex]

why yall crying

[safe loom]

because my salad simply hasn't successfully started a workload in 6 days

[vagrant dirge]

Mine too

[safe loom]

i think my computer just needs to restart

but im lazy

[robust creek]

0,50

0 because sgs would not even start to them, just like the people i invited xd almost no one has gigabit in italy and they require it to work idk why

[hollow vortex]

climbed up a few more cents 😄

[white knot]

yeh y

i dont mind 2 keep my pc as a heater unnecessarily

[hollow vortex]

might hit 2 soon

[white knot]

said like ur name @hollow vortex

[oak viper]

how

[hollow vortex]

bw

[hollow vortex]

like this

[oak viper]

what region

region?

BRO WHAT

THE US GIVES U 2$ WITHOUT USING A GPU 💀

[hollow vortex]

yeah, 1 pc too too lazy to get my 2nd laptop up n running again .

[oak viper]

-_-

[hollow vortex]

thats not bad

[oak viper]

i recently got it

yk what the highest i got once?

[hollow vortex]

att gpu though still good

[oak viper]

the highest i got was 5.148$

that was 4 months ago

i recently got a container

but when i open a game it just crashes

[gleaming shell]

Nah wtf

I think bros the first person to ever get 2 dollars from us bandwidth

Unless you also have a container or something

[hollow vortex]

no - no container.

[hollow vortex]

recap lol

[silk wraith]

Downloaded the latest github version of librespeed-cli.exe and surprise -- upload speeds work correctly!
Have anyone tried replacing the file in salad folder? Safe / OK?

[upbeat shuttle]

Likely against TOS or whatever

modifying salad's files

[silk wraith]

@upbeat shuttle I also saw your comment to configure the server to use, I might try that first

[upbeat shuttle]

though i guess it's not illegal if nobody finds out

you can do whatever you want at your own risk i honestly don't care

[silk wraith]

Right it seems safe enough, but wanted to check around

[robust creek]

anything done to fix salad issues should be allowed and promoted, salad developers being lazy fixing real problems but happy to release 99999 useless updates (1 month without updates tho, maybe they finally learned that so much updates are not necessary)

also, traffic

[gleaming shell]

I don't like how salad won't fix the issue and and make kinda usess updates but then we're at risk of getting banned if we fix it ourselves

But whatever, as long as I have something to earn off of

[robust creek]

they are a company, and think only about themselves, not surprised xd

[silk wraith]

I found earlier comments from mod Sip with other solution to add --upload-size 1000 in workloaddefinitions . That worked for me and sounds like the better fix.

[robust creek]

where precisely you add it

[silk wraith]

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 change to "--ipv4 --upload-size 1000"
You will probably need to edit permissions to allow modify the file.

[gleaming shell]

And one more step: hope that salad doesn't ban you

[silk wraith]

Indeed. At your own risk! At least there's some positive feedback to go on here, but nothing official I guess.

[topaz dagger]

to fix what?

[silk wraith]

upload speed <10mbps for some people, preventing sgs-client to start

[upbeat shuttle]

This is one of those cases where it's fine in the spirit of the 'law', but it goes against the actual words of the 'law'.

In which case, as you would do in real life, you stay quiet

unreal that i have to spell it out this clearly

[tardy swan]

Aka shhhh

[silk wraith]

Allright apologies.

[safe loom]

based

thats the exact screenshots i want to send when replying to erickas librespeed message in mod meta

its not accurate

its not even consistent

[upbeat shuttle]

their testing likely didn't show any issues because they're all in the US with decent latency and whatever

[civic fern]

the bias in those tests

[green dragon]

how long does it normally take for sgs to boot up

[naive lava]

uhhh when u receive a job, it'll run

[green dragon]

so like 10+ hours?

[naive lava]

ehm depends on the demand in your country, your speeds, luck, blah blah blah

[green dragon]

ahh

[naive lava]

in the usual cases, it takes almost no time to around a day

but also, bw sharing jobs aren't always guaranteed

so expect the graph to be empty on some days

[white knot]

it was guaranteed in jp even if the upload speed was a bit lower than 10mbps

but now it rarely even reaches over 10mbps tested by lib which isnt the case in reality

[robust creek]

what should italians say that if you dont have 100mbps upload, sgs does not start at all xd

[shrewd terrace]

bruh i got 1200 up 1200 down and they dont be using my internet

[strange depot]

So changing the size is that if our upload is less than 10mb

[rotund pike]

thing is that bandwidth just shut off like a week ago at 2pm for me and a couple of my friends near enough at the same time

sgs wont start up and nothing since

[robust creek]

country

[rotund pike]

uk

[robust creek]

wow odd

[topaz dagger]

bruh wtf

where u from

?

[crude jewel]

europe most likely

[topaz dagger]

k

[crude jewel]

where you from?

[topaz dagger]

UK

[crude jewel]

ah

[topaz dagger]

not getting much

[crude jewel]

my download's 467

mf

[topaz dagger]

i got 380mbps download

[crude jewel]

i got 467

[topaz dagger]

37mbps upload 💀

[crude jewel]

upload is 252

hehe

[crude jewel]

but bw isn't available here

[topaz dagger]

lemme see ur earnings

[crude jewel]

FFS

[topaz dagger]

bruh

[crude jewel]

nothing

sadly

i ain't from the uk

[topaz dagger]

wherer r u from

[crude jewel]

Il

i have 1gbps plan but you never get what you pay for

even tho i have fiber internet still the router can't manage that much speed

simply not built for it

[feral hazel]

i saw back there that u have to put in the sgs or whatever manually if salad didnt install it, how do i figure out if salad installed it or not

[crude jewel]

you can't put it by yourself

salad manages it

on its own

[upbeat shuttle]

(found in the pinned posts)

[feral hazel]

so, i cant copy and paste that link into my browser from the picture, could you send the link plz @

@upbeat shuttle

thx in advance

ok so that link does not do anything anymore, the google drive file has been deleted, and i even checked the wayback machine, not there either, anyone know a way to get the sgs file into the salad or whatever it would be greatly appreciated

[upbeat shuttle]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T_C1IhdiGNKcVCAUd6cWS9kQ1QfUxxq_/view

works for me?

[feral hazel]

its working now, how do i put it into it again, i dont have a workloads folder in my salad

[upbeat shuttle]

you should, it's at C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads

[feral hazel]

i went to my c drive, went to programs or whatever, got all the way to salad, and there is no workloads file

[upbeat shuttle]

I think you might've went to the wrong folder

it's ProgramData not Program Files

[feral hazel]

dont even have a program data

only program files

lemme ss

[upbeat shuttle]

probably a hidden folder

enter it in manually at the top search bar

[feral hazel]

it cant find it

should i make a new folder? or what should i do here

[upbeat shuttle]

Click on 'View' at the top > Tick 'Hidden items'

[feral hazel]

this is what is in the workloads folder under program data

what now

[upbeat shuttle]

~

[feral hazel]

do i put that in the workloads folder, no extract or anything

[upbeat shuttle]

indeed

[feral hazel]

and now i should be able to get bandwith things now?

[upbeat shuttle]

Refer to this, again.
This only helps if you can see in your logs that Salad is failing to download sgs client.

[feral hazel]

so, how do i check if it is failing

cause i dont know

hewo 🙂

it did this on both the laptops that i am using by the way

sorry, ive been spamming, i know you have other peoples problems to take care of

@upbeat shuttle what logs do i go onto on the salad logs

an anyone keep helping me cuz i rly dont know how to do this one @everyone

<@&601460902872612878>

any mod plz

[peak terrace]

everything is in pinned messages

[feral hazel]

which ones all the pined ones are only the ones by ozua

[peak terrace]

what is the issue you are having

[uncut bluff]

Please don't ping the Lead Moderators role for support, you can instead use the Community Support Assistant ping

[feral hazel]

sry

i didnt know

[feral hazel]

i have put the zip file into the C:\ProgramData\Salad\workloads file and i dont know what to do after that, i checked all the pins and it doesnt say anything about after that

[uncut bluff]

Can you send your latest log file in C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs

I can try to help you

[feral hazel]

yes one sec

[peak terrace]

start up salad and give it time to run

[feral hazel]

lemme find

[uncut bluff]

What is your issue anyway

Is sgs client not starting?

[feral hazel]

yes and there is no bandwith folder thingy in the logs

[uncut bluff]

Well you might just have to keep waiting

You won't get a bandwidth job instantly

[feral hazel]

there is no sgs file installed on my computer before this, how do i figure out if salad was unable to install the ssg file?

[uncut bluff]

Well send the log file and I will tell you if it is failing or not

Also salad will not install sgs client until a bandwidth job runs on your device

[feral hazel]

this is the latest log file in that folder, not sure if u meant the ndm folder or not so i just sent the one in the folder u told me to

it wont let me send the file how do i send it?

it says file sending failed on disc

[uncut bluff]

Right click on the file, press send to, then press compressed (zipped) folder

Then send that here

[feral hazel]

kk

thats it

[uncut bluff]

Alright it looks like nothing is failing

So you will just have to wait for salad to run a bandwidth workload on your device

[feral hazel]

ok so i can just uninstall the ssg file that i put into the download file

[uncut bluff]

And it will install when that happens

[feral hazel]

or can i just keep it there

[uncut bluff]

You can just keep it there

[feral hazel]

kk, thx for ur help

[uncut bluff]

Salad won't have to download it whenever you get a workload

No problem 👍

[feral hazel]

k, in the work logs, will it install the folder that says bandwith thingy too?

[uncut bluff]

Yes when a bandwidth workload runs, it will extract sgs client into the workload folder

[feral hazel]

k thats all i need.

thanks alot

[tame matrix]

why is my upload speed so slow in the logs 💀

is there anything I can do to fix that?

[white knot]

avg lib speedtests be like:

just refresh it like a 2500 times like someone did

[peak terrace]

quit salad completely and kill salad.bowl.service in task manager, it will trigger the test again

[tame matrix]

alright lets see what happens

this is why my bandwidth sharing doesn't work 😭

[lone solstice]

Sometimes the test can also select the wrong region. For me it chose New York servers, even though I should not have been placed there - this meant I had significantly worst speeds and my ping was higher too.
You can edit the parameters for librespeed in certain Salad files

Now this doesn't guarantee better speeds - but perhaps another server will get you that upload back up the hill

[tame matrix]

how do i do that

wait a second

[lone solstice]

You can also choose a server where you sacrifice download for upload, so that istead of being 100/2 you're like 50 / 30

[tame matrix]

a container just started up

[tame matrix]

how?

[lone solstice]

You need to edit this file : C:\ProgramData\Salad\workload-definitions\ndm.yaml

[tame matrix]

ok thx

[lone solstice]

And then under the "args:" section, you specifiy another server with --server <server_number>

The server list is here and you need to enter the index that is specified on their site : https://librespeed.org/backend-servers/servers.php

[white knot]

always gets speedtested in us while the ip in💀 jp

[lone solstice]

It'll look something like this

[shrewd terrace]

probably because the jp server is down

[white knot]

or never existed

[lone solstice]

Note that for any update Salad makes, this file can be overwritten and you'll need to do it again

[white knot]

but still

only around 60-80ms ping

[tame matrix]

if i wanted to do los angeles, would I put 1 as my number?

[upbeat shuttle]

Angarosss Ericka said people shouldn't be modifying Salad's files

[lone solstice]

It'd be 54

[tame matrix]

oh ok

this is what i see on the website

[upbeat shuttle]

utterly criminally ignored

insane that i'm getting used to it

[white knot]

gonna change into the lowest latecy server

with this guide

[tame matrix]

lets go

[dry carbon]

Country-India
PC Specs - Rtx 4070 , i7 13700kf , 32gb TridentZ 3600Mhz
Download rate: 107.02 Mbps
Upload rate: 65.09 Mbps

Havent gotten one BW jon in 3 months

[safe loom]

read the pins

[dry carbon]

I did

i qualify for the requirements

like the ul and dl

And I am Star Chef

Also installed the SGS client as it wasnt installed for some reason

last BW job that i got which is in logs was 2/8/23

[dry carbon]

^^^

[safe loom]

no you didn't

[dry carbon]

I did

I know it is under testing in India , Japan , South Korea and some more

But

I do find a lot of people IN India who have :-
Lower dl,ul or both
Worse specked PC
yet they receive BW jobs earning upwards of 4$!

[safe loom]

bandwidth jobs aren't guaranteed

[dry carbon]

[rotund pike]

what if im in UK and its been working for the last year then cut off abruptly a week or so ago

[safe loom]

it is what it is

if it doesnt work after days for no seeming reason

a pc restart usually fixes it

[rotund pike]

Around 10 of those

Including tampering with server locations

Last recorded up/dl was 300/300 so internet isnt an issue

[peak terrace]

sgs has become alive on my server

[hollow vortex]

whats a restart?

was a good US bw day

[robust creek]

noo power gone for 5 minutes and i lost sgs

[peak terrace]

Italy moment

[jovial fiber]

5 minutes so long

[hollow vortex]

Keep crying 💀

[elfin grove]

In the logs my download speed is 26 and upload is 23. Still salad is not triggering the sgs client file

[gritty kestrel]

can u send it to me as well please

[upbeat shuttle]

on cod

i have no idea how you found a year old message

refer to this, and actually please for the love of god READ the entire thing before going ahead and doing it and complaining that it doesn't work

[upbeat shuttle]

Bandwidth Sharing jobs aren't guaranteed - as long as you meet the minimum requirements (found in the pinned posts here), all you can really do is wait and hope you get a bw sharing job

[tight atlas]

on cod

[upbeat shuttle]

for eel

[gritty kestrel]

bru nvm ;-; but it isnt working for me

[upbeat shuttle]

no carp

[upbeat shuttle]

what speeds and country? how long have/do you run salad for? have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far?

[peak terrace]

suiii

[gleaming shell]

You can delete this whole entire thread right

[frigid reef]

if they do im pretty sure ozua will not so kindly kill them

[kindred helm]

we do a little trolling

[rocky orbit]

Auto response

every 5 minutes

/ per message

[civic fern]

didn't you all say that modifying the .yaml files was a possible way to get blocked from getting sgs workloads?

sorry but i need to see this through

[naive lava]

uh isn't it against the tos of salad to modify the app's files?

[spark adder]

Wait who said that?

[civic fern]

in a nutshell, the mods

that's why i stopped bothering with sgs as a whole

[tardy swan]

as long as you don't get caught

i mean

don't do it!!!

[silk wraith]

Oohh first time seeing data in Canada Bandwidth-SGS-CA-z

[fringe basin]

Hold up, bandwidth sharing in NL? Since when id that in beta 👀

[jovial fiber]

no? it's technically against tos, but you should not have problems with that as it's not cheating the system

[civic fern]

well fuck my life- wait it doesn't even matter

italy is dead from a bandwidth sharing pov

even people with 1gbps get nothing

[jovial fiber]

;-;

[civic fern]

i can try to do it, but most probably won't ever get anything anyway

best i can do is 20mbps in upload

[hollow vortex]

That's like dial up, I wouldn't even bother.

[radiant stream]

500 mbps down 30 up

That's pain for uploading anything

[civic fern]

100mbps down, 20up

i can't do anything about it

even though i should have 200mbps down

[gleaming shell]

I used to have 20 up, well, more like a 16 up after a few seconds of continuous uploading

And yeah bandwidth sharing kinda sucked

[civic fern]

hey, if one day it works cuz of people not using bw sharing in italy, be my guest

[gleaming shell]

I used to consider spikes of like 4mb/s "high paying" lol

[civic fern]

it's a just in case scenario

[civic fern]

tru

i don't take it for granted at all

but it's there, in case

[hollow vortex]

U thought 25mbs of traffic in 5 minutes was high paying . And .003 was high 🤣

[gleaming shell]

real lol

[hollow vortex]

As I was doing 5 gig per 5 mins 🤣

Think star chef helped , seen I did 1.55 yesterday pretty good for a "Monday"

[smoky stump]

once again my sgs has completely vanished for the past month

[gleaming shell]

Pain

[quiet gazelle]

i got sgs on slow wifi

as shitfinity only gives 10 mbps upload

i could be making so much more if my upload matched my downloads

[safe loom]

@vagrant dirge @woven sage are you guys getting 1.20 a day?

wait

actually

i think i have a cpu container running

[woven sage]

i havent ran it in a while

[safe loom]

i do

im getting 20 cents from sgs

but a dollar from this container

[woven sage]

i got a part time and just completely stopped using sgs

[safe loom]

gigachad

disposable income feels good

[woven sage]

true

[tame matrix]

how do you know how much you make from sgs?

cant find it in logs

[vagrant dirge]

I haven't ran salad in a while, the jobs aren't paying good

[safe loom]

cause im getting 1.20 per 24

and that container is predicted at 1 dollar

[vagrant dirge]

What cpu do you have running the container

[tame matrix]

my calculated earnings always say "calculating" whenever I run a container with sgs

[safe loom]

yeah

obviously

i just checked logs

[hollow vortex]

Yeah cause it can't predetermine SGS usage.

[plush vector]

i havnt been getting bw jobs

and i cant see sgs-client.exe run

@upbeat shuttle

i checked logs and

why is my bandwith as false

[plush vector]

this aswell

[dry carbon]

Yea

sgs doesnt run if you dont have bw sharing

[plush vector]

oh

[dry carbon]

ad make sure you live in a country that supports BW

[plush vector]

i live in india

[plush vector]

what about this

and why am i not earning anything in salad

[upbeat shuttle]

open salad > performance tab > workload preferences > is 'video streaming' enabled?

[elfin grove]

I have chose the first option of let salad automatically selects best workloads

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

i think you can just ignore what it says in the logs then

[plush vector]

its set to choose it automatically based on the pc

should i change that setting?

[plush vector]

@upbeat shuttle

[upbeat shuttle]

That's the same as having everything enabled so it's fine

[plush vector]

so why am i not earning anything

[frigid reef]

what country are you in?

[plush vector]

india

i know its still in testing but like no job for many days?

[umbral pike]

in uk 600mbps no jobs for 2 weeks and im star chef too

my power is going sky high

[robust creek]

odd that uk desn't have jobs

[upbeat shuttle]

should do

consider reading the pins

[plush vector]

so what will happen

i have to wait?

[upbeat shuttle]

pretty much, yeah

what internet speeds do you get?

[hollow vortex]

5mbs upload. Can I get bw sharing jobs?

[upbeat shuttle]

ah the minimum is roughly 10mbps upload and download

[hollow vortex]

r u sure

[upbeat shuttle]

i am sure

also you are not the same person i asked

what

[robust creek]

in italy 100* remember

[peak terrace]

nvm it's just one IP that disconnected which was carrying the entire effort

[gritty kestrel]

300mbps, India, entire day, nope

👍

[old compass]

i miss when uk bandwidth was just completely reliable

[gleaming shell]

i miss the container beta

[upbeat shuttle]

bandwidth sharing has never been reliable / consistent

and never will be

it's in its nature

[old compass]

for me it was around early 2023 and late 2022

i would just turn it on and boom instant job

i mean i miss it but like i understand why its not like that anymore

[peak terrace]

i miss getting >$110 a month

barely scraping $40 now

maybe this will change when i get rtx 4070 though

[green dragon]

...

[old compass]

gobsmackingly apples

[tropic vortex]

its bc of startup apps

oh sht im a bit late

[tropic vortex]

is container consisteny tho

like are good jobs rare

idk

i got a good job for like 15 hours

and now mining again

[little saffron]

I will soon get up a machine with 128 and 256 gb ram when I’m back from holiday

[upbeat shuttle]

why

[thorny imp]

I'm stuck with 0.5 cent a day 💀

Sweden BW sharing is so bad when it comes to trafic

Finland server*

scelli, may I ask, what specs do you have in your pc/pcs to earn 40 bucks a day?

[peak terrace]

Oh i made a mistake

I meant per month

$110 and $40 a month

[thorny imp]

Oh, you confused me so much

[white knot]

stealing jobs temporarily

[spark adder]

Bro no way 😭

What’s your specs?

[peak terrace]

ryzen 5 1600

gtx 1060 6gb

soon to be ryzen 7 7700x rtx 4070

[robust creek]

what should i say? i earn barely 15 before fees, after fees 12 maybe, salad fees when cashing out should be reduced

[topaz dagger]

what fees

[robust creek]

WHEN YOU WITHDRAW YOUR MONEY

ops caps

if i want to withdraw 5€ i need to pay 6$ on salad

[hollow vortex]

It's the vendor charging fees .

[robust creek]

and salad cannot pay them? why us

[topaz dagger]

bro

there are no fees

5 euro does not equal 6 dollars bro

its because of the conversion rate

wait 5 euro is 5.40 dollar idk

its 50 cent man just allow it

[short notch]

old version discontinues even for bandwidth users?

[upbeat shuttle]

I've asked about this, I'll let you know what they say

though note that v1.1.9, which is being deprecated, is now 10 versions old

and released just over 4 months ago

[short notch]

oh i have read wrong, i thought the version before the latest release

[peak terrace]

brr

[pulsar arrow]

economy boomin

[gleaming shell]

havent seen you chat in this server for a while lol

[vagrant dirge]

@safe loom My bandwidth earnings are coming back

[safe loom]

fire

[vagrant dirge]

Let's see if I can earn $3 in a day

[gritty kestrel]

0 bandwidth earning since update?

any suggestions on fixing this?

rolling it back?

or do i just need to wait

[thorny imp]

its all a waiting game

for me it took over 3 weeks to get my first Bandwidth job

depends on the servers demand

[gritty kestrel]

i was earning a little little

but it just fully stopped

after updating it

[white knot]

dats y u shouldnt update it without consideration

[gleaming wraith]

so u had to keep bandwidth running for 3 weeks?

nonstop?

are u in the uk by any chance

[peak terrace]

dual bw sharing coming in clutch

keeping my network saturated

[thorny imp]

Sweden

i had it running about 18h per day

[gleaming wraith]

same network? two devices?

how long did it take for ur sgs client to come

[peak terrace]

takes on average about a day to get fully running on both
