Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[hollow vortex]

Re run the test till you get a better result. You only need a passing test. getting your full amount of ISP BW to show up on the test is irrelevant as its just a yay or nay for min requirements .

[dull gazelle]

I rerun the test on my browser? Or with salad? And could you let me know the speeds required for BW sharing?

[hollow vortex]

quit salad, go to task manager end salad bowl task - and wait a few seconds it will rerun a new speed test. i think most is less then 100 ms ping, 10mb upload/download

[jovial fiber]

but we don't know the unit

[dull gazelle]

Does changing the server matters for the speed test? Or in the salad directory?

[jovial fiber]

it could

[hollow vortex]

Its againts salad TOS to alter any of salad's files.

[misty furnace]

it's bytes from what I can tell. I did some math alongside glasswire

[jovial fiber]

bytes ?

hmm okay

you sure ?

[misty furnace]

my math is showing 1.4MB/s for 30s and glasswire is showing the same

[jovial fiber]

okay

[misty furnace]

(not mbit, MB)

[jovial fiber]

i'll update my script

[jovial fiber]

bit≠byte yeah

[misty furnace]

dms

[jovial fiber]

?

[dull gazelle]

This. Can this be done now?

[hollow vortex]

Last i knew that was " altering files "

[misty furnace]

I would not recommend you do that, but I wish it was allowed. giving salad an accurate speedtest result shouldn't be a bad thing

[jovial fiber]

it works but breaks TOS

[dull gazelle]

So just to be clear, thats a big no-no?

[hollow vortex]

Correct .

[jovial fiber]

and from what i have seen speedtest seems more stable lately

[dull gazelle]

Anyway to not break tos and point the test in the right direction?

[jovial fiber]

i have made a script that automatically choose the server and change salad file

[misty furnace]

mine was kinda mid, but at least it's better than it has been

[hollow vortex]

Just rerun unfortantly , and if you can use ethernet as wifi has drops .

[misty furnace]

you can also try downloading a large file while it tries to select a server because that can increase ping and maybe have librespeed choose a different server. pause the download once librespeed starts the test

[hollow vortex]

Don't work on fiber lol, Im lucky if my ping jumps 1ms fullly loaded

[dull gazelle]

My ping seems to be the problem. I am getting almost 20+ up and down on average but the pings is not coming lower than 160

[hollow vortex]

Wifi or ethernet?

[dull gazelle]

Sadly wifi. Router in the adjacent room

[jovial fiber]

wifi is probably not the problem here

just the server used is far from you

[hollow vortex]

I would also suggest running a speed test early AM as your ISP could be congested , and or you have old wifi/router

[hollow vortex]

or this.

[dull gazelle]

Router is definitely oldd.

[hollow vortex]

It would affect it a little, but the main problem is the server is prob too far

[jovial fiber]

my router is like 8 years old and i have like 30ms ping

(fiber)

[dull gazelle]

I tried the starting 8 from the list and the Germany one goes to 159. The rest are above 200

[jovial fiber]

are you in India?

[dull gazelle]

Im pakistan

[dull gazelle]

We were given the same shitty Huawei one around 8 years ago from the ISP

[jovial fiber]

yeah just use the server with the best speeds and less ping

[hollow vortex]

I got a 97 ms ping From germany server lol ( us here )

[misty furnace]

if possible buy like a 20m ethernet cable to connect your device directly

[dull gazelle]

But how do i let salad know to use that server. How does it select the servers?

[misty furnace]

just get lucky. you're not supposed to change it manually

[jovial fiber]

;-; hum we can't really talk about it

[dull gazelle]

Yup, that seems to be the solution. I'll have to find a way to route it into my room

[jovial fiber]

but you have found the guide before

[waxen pollen]

Have you tried turning it off and on again? 🤣😂😜

[civic fern]

yeah and like, 10 cents in the rest of the world

faq was updated recently

[gleaming shell]

Better than 95 percent of CPU containers atleast

[jovial fiber]

ahahahaha salad that says that Bandwidth-SGS-FR was blocked by antivirus, now i lost sgs 💀
I love when Salad bug itself for no reason

I think they have a big problem of rights in their own ProgramData folder

[misty furnace]

nah it’s not even getting blocked by the av, salad just thinks it is for some reason

[jovial fiber]

yeah ik

[topaz dagger]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/764688039749353513.gif?size=160&quality=lossless

[peak terrace]

wait you guys are actually getting bandwidth?

in the last 30 days

[jovial fiber]

yes 2gb a day lol

[peak terrace]

sgs just does not want to work for me rn

[misty furnace]

lol, i’m getting like 300gb/day on some days

[gleaming shell]

huh i cant even get past 250gb on a good day now

[robust creek]

don't complain be happy of what you have, you at least have it

[topaz dagger]

im not complaining

[robust creek]

noo you're not

[topaz dagger]

i was upset

and i wasnt complaining

[robust creek]

upset because you are earning more than everyone else that is not in uk?

amazing behavior

[topaz dagger]

yh it is

cuz its low for me

[gleaming shell]

did that one person used to get 20 dollars in a day from just uk bandwidth alone lol

if i remember

i forgor who it exactly was

[topaz dagger]

yh ik

who ur talking abt

@subtle condor used to make $10/day

from bw

[gleaming shell]

us bandwidth isnt the best
but definitely better than most countries

[subtle condor]

meow

hiii

[topaz dagger]

hi

[gleaming shell]

bro woke him up

[topaz dagger]

fr

[subtle condor]

pretty much

[topaz dagger]

summoned

[subtle condor]

Not as more though, it's nowhere near as consistent. I have ordered a Dell Optiplex though

to run bandwidth on

[topaz dagger]

nice

how much u earn atm?

[gleaming shell]

literally gonna buy a shitty pc found on the side of the road ran over by 36 cars and send it to someone in the uk to bandwidth share

[subtle condor]

5-7

[subtle condor]

omg deal

[topaz dagger]

damn

only bw?

[subtle condor]

ya

[topaz dagger]

damn

[misty furnace]

nah you're getting one

[topaz dagger]

if i put my laptop right next to my router

and get like 400mbps for librispeed-cli

and move my laptop somewhere else getting 70/70 speeds

will i have a higher chance of better paying bw

[hollow vortex]

Demand is by customer , and how much they use depends on them.

[misty furnace]

given that salad shows this on their Bandwidth Sharing pdf, yeah it probably is a factor

[peak terrace]

Maybe that is why I'm not getting sgs anymore

My internet is not fast enough

Only 30mbits upload

[frigid reef]

The test is just to see if you qualify for the requirements of bandwidth sharing from what I was told, so as long as it’s running sgs client you should see no earning difference between speeds from the test

[latent breach]

My balance is not updating for straight several hours.... @frigid reef

[frigid reef]

Is your bw/hardware being used?

[latent breach]

bw

[frigid reef]

Are you 100% sure it’s running?

[latent breach]

Yeah, I'm 100% sure

[frigid reef]

@lone solstice :3 it’s happening again, (salad using bw/pc, and not paying out) I’m at work so I can’t collect info but I will ping

[misty furnace]

I’m seeing other reports of long payout delays. they seem to be just delayed rather than not existing. #1232609578059829268 message

[frigid reef]

Direct them to angaros I’m at work and can’t fully control collecting info

[misty furnace]

mk, i’ll let them know to dm angaroo

[latent breach]

I'm wondering if by any chance I lose sgs, will I get paid for the bw that I had shared already?

[misty furnace]

idk if my system has any payout issues. I have had no containers since 6am

[jovial fiber]

same here not paying

with bw running

[robust creek]

incredible

not only they pay low but also it bugs and don't pay

[jovial fiber]

it pays, it' just not shown

it's delayed

[misty furnace]

delayed payouts are actually outlined in the TOS. It says that salad balance can take up to 48 hours to appear after earning

[jovial fiber]

who read TOS

[misty furnace]

I do. I have read the salad tos too many times

unfortunately this clause is up to interpretation so I treat it very broadly

[frigid reef]

[topaz dagger]

bruh

the second i added salad to my laptop

my earnings dropped

how tf

im earning like

0.005

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/971781990644875284.webp?size=160&quality=lossless

0.002

[white knot]

oversimplified glasswire

after the pc freezes bc of xmg

[tulip depot]

I found a setting in my system, added sgs to it, and boom

[topaz dagger]

which setting

also show the full graph

showing the $$

[tulip depot]

Looks like a setting that allowed me to put a list of apps in a 'network priority' list or smthg

Lenovo thing

And hell yeah sgs went from 0.1 mbps to like 5mbps

[topaz dagger]

i made my ethernet top priority

thx for that

ill see if it made a difference or not

[tulip depot]

I think that's something different

[topaz dagger]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-set-internet-priority-on-windows/

[tulip depot]

What I did

[tulip depot]

This seems to choose between which internet to use, mine gave more priority to a specific app for using internet

[misty furnace]

I have no need to do that lol. sgs never uses more than 50% of my bandwidth

[tulip depot]

I was having issues to get sgs use my bandwidth It was using like 0.1 of my 100mbps net

[topaz dagger]

actually tbh

salad sometimes uses 100% of my upload

so it doesnt rlly matter

[topaz dagger]

thats cuz u had a lower paying bw job

[tulip depot]

Please elaborate

[topaz dagger]

...

u had

a lower paying bw job

the job didnt require much bw

rn i have a low paying one too

and my wifi is 1000/150

at 8, i turned salad on my laptop on

idk why it lowered my earnings

like tf

[tulip depot]

I didn't know bw jobs are not consistent

So kinda like containers?

[topaz dagger]

no

containers r WAY more consistent compared to bw

but ig the job system is similar

[tulip depot]

oh cool. The thing is my system has very less chance of getting any containers

Is there a way to see if I have ever gotten one?

[opal jolt]

Its in your logs, but with your GPU, I wouldn't count on it.

[tulip depot]

Yep, that's what I was told

[misty furnace]

I have a powershell command that shows the last 10 days, but idk if I’m allowed to send it here

[opal jolt]

Is it worthwhile to forward the port for sharing?

[jovial fiber]

wdym ?

[opal jolt]

Well your router prevents direct connections unless you forward the port.

private vs public ip etc etc

[jovial fiber]

yeah but you don't need to open a port for salad

your computer doesn't act as a server

i mean

there is no direct connection to your computer

[opal jolt]

I figured, I didn't know it wuld be more beneficial either way.

[jovial fiber]

and you want to keep your port closed if not needed

[opal jolt]

Im aware, thats why uPnP exists.

I just didn't know if forwarding the port could be advantageous or not.

[jovial fiber]

oh okay now you know :p

[tulip depot]

Please DM me

[topaz dagger]

yo can u send me it

[latent breach]

This forum is alive once again🙃

[gleaming shell]

gonna be dead again soon

[queen sandal]

Hey, can you send me that command too?

[tame flicker]

Quick question, how much bandwidth sgs should be using ? it almost never goes above 3Mbps and 60% of the time it's under 1Mbps is it normal ?
Btw my connection is 900mbps down and 700mbps up with 17ms of ping.
Also I'm in France

[hollow vortex]

Is no set limit. It's w.e the customer requests.

[tame flicker]

Yeah but i saw a lot of people with like 30mbps and more, and in 4days i never saw anything very high

[hollow vortex]

Like right now your not using all 900mbs 24/7.

Okay, so the customer isn't doing anything heavy bandwidth wise that needs more speed.

[tame flicker]

So maybe I'm just not very lucky

[hollow vortex]

1 day I'm only doing 30-40 Mbps other days I do 200mbps . It all depends on the customer .

It will always be that way.

[tame flicker]

Okay

[robust creek]

pc rebooted and lost sgs again.. now not starting from 3 hours

the bad experiences never stops..

[hollow vortex]

Seems ur bw sharing isn't needed at the moment. Hang tight , keep chopping another customer may appear to need your connection.

[robust creek]

= never

[sharp drum]

bro you have a 3070 maybe use that instead?

[misty furnace]

@topaz dagger @queen sandal I would rather not set a precedent so i’m not going to be sharing it anymore

[queen sandal]

Ok

[robust creek]

2$ a day for my card is too low for my standards

[misty furnace]

your standards are too high then

[jovial fiber]

yeah i'm in france too and i don't really see high bandwidth usage too, kind of sad but it's better than nothing

[robust creek]

if you accept being abused go ahead, i don't

32GB of ram used with full GPU powrer in use 100% 24/7 for only 2$ a day is an abuse to the users

in my opinion salad should let us choose, how much we want to get paid for the hardware and per GB

if customers accepts, we earn good, if no, no problem, my pc won't become an heater for some pennies in exchange

[hollow vortex]

Seems like you'd be better off toing to vast ai. They already have that platform going for them.

[misty furnace]

I accept being paid $7/day for my pc being on and only drawing 120w. it’s your choice

[robust creek]

my pc was using 300W

200W the card alone

32gb of ram saturated

card producing heat and noise

[misty furnace]

here’s the catch; how much would you be willing to pay to rent a 3070 for a day? especially since there are other cards that perform better for ai and cost the same or less

[robust creek]

they don't only rent the card, if they take the ram too it means they make something like a virtual machine in my pc

[misty furnace]

yes, they pay for the gpu, ram usage, and storage

[robust creek]

servers are expensive, using real people harware should be even more expensive because of electricity cost and residential ips are expensive in the market

[misty furnace]

the whole business model of salad is to make the costs lower than cloud services to give customers an incentive to use it.

[robust creek]

and a person has to keep turned on his pc 24/7, and listen to the noise and feel the heat

servers are not near people so doens't matter

[jovial fiber]

the question is why you still use salad if you feel that way ?

[robust creek]

but that means people being abused... not so nice eh?

[misty furnace]

they only use bws

[hollow vortex]

Just block em. It's easier. Don't have to see them cry daily.

[robust creek]

i'm not crying?

[misty furnace]

I’m not feeling abused. my fans are barely audible, not much heat, I still have plenty of ram for windows and other apps, i’m being paid 10x the electricity costs.

[robust creek]

you

but me no, when i tested they was using all they could

[misty furnace]

this isn’t worth continuing. if you don’t like salad don’t use it. if you like salad, use it. salad won’t change a business model over a single user’s opinions

[robust creek]

remember months ago that my card was actually LAGGING while watching a youtube video???

i turned off salad GPU and everything worked fine again as usual, this scared me i thought was a problem. that contianer was saturating my gpu power and i was getting paid 0,70$ a day

[hollow vortex]

Point of renting your GPU out so be used , weather 20% or 100%., inexhange for $.

[robust creek]

can't even try opening teenagers eyes? they being happy earning 1$ a day for giving their entire pc power to a company making millions a day

[robust creek]

of corse i'm the unlucky one

[jovial fiber]

they are losing money but okay

[robust creek]

(at least sgs came back now)

[peak terrace]

if you find the experience to be unsatisfactory, you are more than welcome to stop using the service, nothing anyone can do will help you

[robust creek]

if they ask why people uninstalled the app means they care about keeping users

when i uninstalled it the first time, they asked me

[peak terrace]

yes but no one is forcing you to use salad

if you are so dissatisfied with salad why do you keep coming back to it

do you know what the definition of insanity is?

when you do the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome

[jovial fiber]

me when programming 💀

[peak terrace]

that is not how the scientific method works

[civic fern]

me trying to understand statistics 💀

[jovial fiber]

lol

[topaz dagger]

kk

imma continue sharing mine

0.002 rn 😭

[sharp drum]

is there a way to check if SGS was running previously or no

[misty furnace]

C:\ProgramData\Salad\logs\ and look for a folder called Bandwidth-SGS-xx

if you see it, it has run before

the latest log will show when it last ran

[sharp drum]

nope nvm

no sgs yet

[gleaming shell]

I never get those for some reason

[misty furnace]

I got it today, check the website not the app

[topaz dagger]

i dont have it :(

[gleaming shell]

yeah i dont have it

[earnest sluice]

Where is the bandwidth avalible?

[jovial fiber]

do someone have the link to the latest salad sgs pdf ?

[jovial fiber]

read the pins

[robust creek]

i extremely doubt i will get those 5$ xd

hmm ok

[jovial fiber]

nevermind the link in the pin is the latest, it should have smth to tell the last time the pin has been updated

[robust creek]

it already ended

[jovial fiber]

like me

little bw

[robust creek]

wtf they increased even more the payout fee!! why

[gleaming shell]

wait wth they did?

if i remember paypal got increased by 50 cents

theres another increase again?

[lone solstice]

No it's the same they're just rambling

[gleaming shell]

oh

[robust creek]

it was 5,50$ for 5$ paypal, now its 5,99$, wtf? why?

[topaz dagger]

no bruh

[topaz dagger]

he is right

now its $22.50

[robust creek]

they getting worse and worse... salad more greedy

[topaz dagger]

yh

[topaz dagger]

@lone solstice so are these prices final?

[reef linden]

you know a company needs to make profit to remain on the market, right?

[robust creek]

the users needs to be happy too

[reef linden]

and how are they gonna make them happy if they're on a loss?

[robust creek]

from when they are in loss

they sell your gpu for 3 times what you earn

[pulsar arrow]

Ok

[topaz dagger]

dude. they already take a share of the money we earn. if we earn $1 a day, salad made profit from that as salad earnt more than $1 and then they gave us $1. so they aren't giving us all the money which is normal ofc, but now they r increasing the prices of paypal too? im cashing out and leaving salad fr this time before it increases even more

[frigid reef]

No? I’m unsure on where you got this information but from what we were last told from staff item markups were the only way they earn profit from a user

[frigid reef]

kindly stop with the misinformation, I get you don’t like the direction salad is heading and what they focus on but straight up lying isn’t it

Just because you do not understand anything about salad dosent mean you look a funny number and make up information from it

[upbeat shuttle]

^^ if we're earning less, it's because the customers are paying less

[frigid reef]

Also ima stop this now with this channel being used for anything other then bw sharing talk, please kindly move it out of this channel, idc if you want to rant or what it’s annoying having to deal with it here, this is a support chat not a let’s hear your misinformed opinions chat

[robust creek]

me with a 3070ti and 64 gb of ram, they were using it at full power and 32GB of ram, i was getting paid 2$ a day which is 60$ a month

[robust creek]

ok

[upbeat shuttle]

^

[frigid reef]

Ah, yes this page, what marks the highest you can earn with your gpu, most clients renting hardware get discounts mainly for renting a large amount at once, I also want to mark that salad offers free credits to companies to entice them to join salad. ATM salad is still losing money I’m not sure how many times I need to tell you this information for it to enter your brain. Anyway anything else about this convo take it to chef posting or another channel like that just not in support channels

[jovial fiber]

it's the same increase : 10% of the paypal value + 0.5$

[upbeat shuttle]

?

[jovial fiber]

?

just told that
the paypal : 5.5$ => 6$
is the same increase as the 22$ (if i'm right) => 22.5$

[hollow vortex]

their is only a 4% business charge for paypal - They are way over that fee. . You know that right ?

[upbeat shuttle]

#chef-posting message

they've gotta make more money, unfortunately

[robust creek]

paypal increased the fee?

[jovial fiber]

from what i have understood yes but i'm really unsure so don't take that for truth

from ozua just said it could just salad increasing their margin to grow

[hollow vortex]

no they did not. Salad increased the cut they take to try to turn a profit. as a whole .

[robust creek]

2 whole days for me of sgs... 2 days fee

[hollow vortex]

idc. Im no longer using salad.. Im just here for shits n giggles

[robust creek]

using what? salad?

[hollow vortex]

yeah, Sent in email last night to have my account deleted.

[tulip depot]

Naw man

I turn laptop off for few hours for rest and this happens

[jovial fiber]

? normal

[robust creek]

where are you from

[tulip depot]

India

[robust creek]

ah ok

[topaz dagger]

yh

its normal

day 9 i turned my pc off

and look what happened lol

[tulip depot]

Damn

Even my highest day was 0.6 $

[topaz dagger]

damn

[misty furnace]

little sgs spike

[tulip depot]

Same bro, same. Just numbers different

[tulip depot]

I want to get rid of a bw job that pays nothing

[frigid reef]

its kinda not how it works, there is no "bw job" its just traffic sent through your network, you just gotta keep chopping till more traffic is sent through it

[upbeat shuttle]

ackshually

[tulip depot]

Yas?

[misty furnace]

[tardy swan]

Nerds

[peak terrace]

i have done some network fuckery and i will now see if i can get sgs again

(i rebooted my router and got a new public ip address)

[topaz dagger]

lmaoo "network fuckery"

[misty furnace]

i’m going to be doing a lot of that this week. new house is wired cat4 and I need to replace it with cat 6 for my 2.5g service

[stoic locust]

uk bandwidth CANNOT be real

[peak terrace]

It's not real

I haven't had bw in almost a month

Therefore it is fake

[peak terrace]

umm guys???

[frigid reef]

?

[peak terrace]

i got sgs

for the first time in like a month

[tulip depot]

What are your secrets?

[dire elm]

i’ve had it pretty consistently with only some periods where i don’t have it

[tulip depot]

Is that all only from bw?

[peak terrace]

i reset my router yesterday and got a new ip i guess

[dire elm]

yeah

[tulip depot]

Even my highest was 0.6 a day

[dire elm]

i have bt fibre 900 and i use opnsense and have my sgs capped at 80mbps upload of 110 so i get some upload leftover for things like my servers and can steal from sgs when needed

[tulip depot]

I need sgs to take more of my bw. I have like 100mbps and sgs takes 0.1

[upbeat shuttle]

eughh they privated the "what is bandwidth sharing?" video

such a waste

updated the link, but why is it spoilered..?

discord is so dumb

[peak terrace]

he got a job

proud of him

[tulip depot]

Finally, I'm in line again

[naive lava]

hoi

[peak terrace]

i am sgsn't now

server paused itself because i ended the rdp session and it didn't detect a display connected

[crisp escarp]

When i turn on VPN, i see in "performance" that bandwitch is on, but when i Off the VPN, there is no icon

[charred sparrow]

VPN doesnt work with bandwidth, even if the icon shows it just completely wont work

what region are you in?

[crisp escarp]

yeah, i understand. Ukraine

[charred sparrow]

sadly BW sharing isnt supported in ukraine as of now :(

no specific date

[crisp escarp]

sad( i have 1000 mb\s (

[peak terrace]

to me it seems like sgs gets started up in waves every 28 days or so

generally speaking i get sgs for a day or two and then it takes around a month to get it again when it stops

[tulip depot]

I hab sgs running 24/7 but just no bw shared

[misty furnace]

happens sometimes

[latent breach]

sometime I feel like I'm sgs-ing.....

And sometime I don't ....

[gleaming shell]

Sometimes I dont too

[peak terrace]

i got sgs again

this is rare

instant high pay job too

maybe a node disconnected

[misty furnace]

I got sgs too 👍

[peak terrace]

bit goofy

[misty furnace]

oh that’s what you mean by high paying? I get 700mb in a single minute sometimes

[gleaming shell]

highest ive ever gotten was i think 2.4 or 2.5 gigabytes upload and download in one minute

if i remember that is

whatever that number was, only gotten it twice in my years of using sald

[misty furnace]

I got 3gb up 3gb down once

[gleaming shell]

but at the end of the day its us bandwidth so the chances of it lasting long is 0

[peak terrace]

I don't have enough bandwidth for that

[shrewd terrace]

sgs container sharing

glasswire doesnt log wsl traffic it seems like

[misty furnace]

yeah, neither does windows. you can see it in the adaptor properties, but that resets after every reboot

[robust creek]

sgs

[misty furnace]

holy mother of sgs

[robust creek]

keeps going

[peak terrace]

so are you pro-salad again?

[robust creek]

rare occasion

will die soon

dead

[gleaming shell]

lol

Italy bw must suck

[robust creek]

it's static pay 99% of the time

[peak terrace]

i am happy with even just static pay

i make the bulk of my earnings from gpu containers

[robust creek]

static pay rn is trash

it's ok if placed with traffic

but if you get ONLY ststic pay.. meh

[peak terrace]

still an extra $0.20 every day

[upbeat shuttle]

mann i missed the 30 seconds where you weren't complaining about salad

😔

[gleaming shell]

i complain about it too

[pulsar arrow]

A

[gleaming shell]

B

[peak terrace]

does salad use the same sgs-client.exe executable for different gateways?

it would appear as if the executables are identical

both have the same md5

we are now dual wielding sgs

$0.40/24h static pay les go

[misty furnace]

ye

there are 7 US gateways now… you know what that means

[gleaming shell]

well half of them are jobless and the other rest are broken, with only one reliable gateway

[upbeat shuttle]

lol

[peak terrace]

whadafak

[upbeat shuttle]

?

[peak terrace]

113 connections

i have never seen that before in my life

chrysanthemum is something else

[topaz dagger]

wym dual wielding sgs

[peak terrace]

I am running sgs on two machines at the same time on my network

Double static pay

[topaz dagger]

kk

[analog patio]

fireeee

is bandwith cooked

[topaz dagger]

🥶

[crisp escarp]

how much do you earn with 1gb\s internet?

[upbeat shuttle]

there's not really any answer to that

it depends on how much of that salad uses

it'd be $50+ a day if salad maxed out a gigabit symmetrical connection

ask me how i know

[topaz dagger]

ugh

how do u know

[peak terrace]

dual sgs is cool

when one dies the other picks up

[misty furnace]

I got static

[tulip depot]

How do you get those graphs? Is it task manager

[misty furnace]

glasswire

https://www.glasswire.com/changes/#v.2.3.449 this version specifically doesn't have paywalls for the useful features

[tulip depot]

thanks a lot ❤️

[gleaming shell]

if only the us was also like that

one got one 1/4 decent gateway here

[misty furnace]

yeah we have 7 gateways and only 1 has jobs

[gleaming shell]

ye

[peak terrace]

sgs stopped itself and started for seemingly no reason

how funky

[naive lava]

i just wanted to know

is the bw sharing condition in India still miserable with all those librespeed issues, or has it gotten any better?

[tulip depot]

This stuff is awesome. I can see directly how much sgs shared and when.

[white knot]

the chance of getting sgs is slightly better than b4 I guess, but ofc the traffic is as low as a weeb hairline still indeed💀

[tulip depot]

I.. just got like 60 GB in 24 hours

[gleaming shell]

jobless moment

also apparently this gateway dosent have static pay

[peak terrace]

dual wielding again

[misty furnace]

I could wield all 7 gateways in the US but only one has decent jobs (or really jobs at all)

[gleaming shell]

Not sure why one of the us gateways is located in uk

Even pinging it gives 90ms

[misty furnace]

yeah marigold

Bandwidth-SGS-US-INT (I assume INT means international)

[tulip depot]

So right after doing 60GB in 24 hours, I am back to static for hours

Whyie

[gleaming shell]

yeah im also guessing that

[gleaming shell]

sgs moment

[tulip depot]

smh my head

[tulip depot]

Can I use bw to share from phone too?

[gleaming shell]

sadly no

[tulip depot]

awh

[gleaming shell]

would be a cool feature though

[tulip depot]

yep

[peak terrace]

and both my sgs just died

fun

why does sgs just stop?

[misty furnace]

basically static pay rn

[tulip depot]

Is this happening to everyone?

[misty furnace]

nvm got a blip

people are browsing google on my sgs

[civic fern]

yup

[peak terrace]

I have nothing rn

Dunno why

Sgs just quit itself on both my pc and server at the exact same time

[tulip depot]

same

[gleaming shell]

Happened on my second laptop yesterday

[peak terrace]

Funky

Now to wait another 20 days for it to come back

[gleaming shell]

Weird how it takes so long for you to get sgs back

Demand in the us is way worse but I get sgs instantly

I guess it's just SGS moment

[misty furnace]

sgs died

[gleaming shell]

Did salad stop it?
Or just no jobs

[misty furnace]

no jobs

[gleaming shell]

Man still tho wth how are you earning that much from just SGS in the us

[peak terrace]

i am sgsing again

how funky

[misty furnace]

sgs

[upbeat shuttle]

sgs

[azure scarab]

sgs uk

[peak terrace]

damn from zero to maximum

i have never had a fat job just appear out of nothingness like this before

[fiery marsh]

UK - 200/200

gonna flex on you all real quick

[gleaming shell]

us 500/500

very ass here

[fiery marsh]

i think UK has so much traffic from BBC streaming (British TV), its where almost all of my traffic is from

[gleaming shell]

yeah the us has some pretty ass demand, its gotten worse and worse for me these past several months

hopefuilly it picks back up but yeah im earning more from other apps

[fiery marsh]

yeah

earning 8USD a day (when its working lol)

[gleaming shell]

its hard for me to even earn like 60 cents per day now

several months back, i would sometimes earn like 1.2 to 1.4 per day but its just been ass lately

can only hope it picks back up

but its been several months and its been declining

[fiery marsh]

yikes

[gleaming shell]

yeah the uk has it very good

[fiery marsh]

this is me - kept crashing due to windows defender disabled it completely

[gleaming shell]

the us has 7 gateways, only one of them has jobs

[fiery marsh]

yikes

[gleaming shell]

ye can only hope it gets better

[fiery marsh]

yeah

im a student living in a big complex and get 200/200 per device. sadly only have one ethernet port here but next year im hopefully gonna have multiple so i can get some other PCs on there lol

[misty furnace]

here in the US it’s mostly fastly.net and netflix

[misty furnace]

get a network switch bro

they’re like $20 and you can have 5 gigabit ports

[fiery marsh]

meh only living here for another 3 weeks at this point, and then im going back home to my shitty 40/10 lol

[latent breach]

Librespeed has been in its worst in the last 7-10 days...
In the speed test my download speed doesn't even cross 50 mbps in spite of having an 80 mbps broadband connection.

[misty furnace]

yeah it’s giving me 300 down 90 up when I have full gig symmetrical

[latent breach]

Why doesn't they use any reliable speed test tool?

[misty furnace]

(my isp is limited to gig and my container managed to pull 1.1gbps)

[latent breach]

My speed is limited to 80mbps but (Sometime) my PC pulls around 85 mbps

[misty furnace]

yeah i’m finally wired directly into the router with a 20m cat6 cable rather than ~100m cat 5 cable

[latent breach]

I think the limit is +-10%

[misty furnace]

for me it’s definitely supposed to be a hard cap. the router’s internal speedtest shows 997mbps maximum

[latent breach]

Amazon here sells 3/5/10 feet cable all at same price

Cat 6

[misty furnace]

6

[peak terrace]

for me it is mostly akamai and fastly

and steam every now and then

[naive lava]

Classic librespeed

I rlly hope they make a switch wooner

[naive lava]

Sooner* bruh tf

[peak terrace]

wooner

[fiery marsh]

akamai a lot as well, but a lot off BBC recently lol

[tulip depot]

FOr some weird reason, my LAN is working only if I turn on CloudFlare

Will salad bw sharing still work in this case?

[misty furnace]

are you saying your internet only works with a cloudflare vpn?

[tulip depot]

yep

just uni LAN things

Btw, happened just today

Was good till now,

[misty furnace]

interesting… ask your uni IT to help you get it fixed. it’s probably an issue on their end

[gleaming shell]

us bandwidth momen

would be ass earnings for days then randomly pop off for like 1 to 15 minutes then die again

(it was at 2x the bandwidth usage than this image earlier))

[robust creek]

i see some apps there that would be better avoid

[misty furnace]

lmao

[gleaming shell]

ye lol

[upbeat shuttle]

ikr onedrive 😤

[gleaming shell]

so theres a new libreshit server in chicago, its the closest one to me, maxes out upload

but one thing, the download is beyond ASS

i might have to suffer with this server i guess

[misty furnace]

thanks for the school ip

[gleaming shell]

FUCK

[gleaming shell]

interesting, on my main laptop its the oppisite, maxes out download but ass upload

yeah conclusion, this server is shit and im gonna have to deal with it

i want atlanta server back, its the only one thats atleast even half decent

ok nevermind, this server is actually the best one for me, it was just my main laptops ass wifi adapter killing the upload and my schools heavy download usage killing the download

[lone solstice]

You're testing from: 192.168.0.18

[gleaming shell]

well not so great news you have my school ip in the modlogs now

forgot to censor that

[misty furnace]

and our dms

[gleaming shell]

yep

[misty furnace]

well, it doesn't help that your address is in modlogs too

[gleaming shell]

yeah

[vale mural]

US east BW sharing only sudden spike and then went down

[misty furnace]

banger

[vale mural]

Will this ever happen again?

[misty furnace]

maybe?

[robust creek]

miracle

[latent breach]

For last 8 days my download speed is not crossing 50 mbps (librespeed), I'm not getting sgs either, on both devices (PC + laptop)....
Although upload speed is fine...
What to do? @lone solstice

[misty furnace]

oh you got the Chicago server prob

https://tenor.com/view/there's-nothing-we-can-do-gif-14390726165144583214

[latent breach]

Any hope it will be fixed?

[latent breach]

Got this one -

Selected server: Nuremberg, Germany (4) (Hetzner) [de5.backend.librespeed.org]

[misty furnace]

yeah, go talk to the folks in chicago

oh so there’s multiple bad download servers

[latent breach]

Buy me a flight ticket with your Salad earning

[gleaming shell]

apparently the chicago server is good, i get maxed out speeds, it was just my shity wifi adapter on my main laptop

and the high download usage at my school

[civic fern]

download or upload

[shrewd terrace]

librespeed still tries to test from a now defunct server

[misty furnace]

banger

[lone solstice]

There's not much to be done, Salad will choose the test server automatically.

[topaz dagger]

[misty furnace]

banger

[lone solstice]

banger

[topaz dagger]

😢

[robust creek]

wanna exchange 0,24$ a day fixed?

[lime nexus]

is bandwitch sharing supported in morroco ?

[upbeat shuttle]

unfortunately not

[latent breach]

Why? Just Why?

[misty furnace]

lmao

btw change the -last 1 to -last 10 to see the last 10 tests

[gleaming shell]

The best libreshit experience

[shrewd terrace]

by any chance did salad select the non existent Virginia server

speed.riverside.rocks doesn’t exist anymore idk why librespeed keeps using it

[latent breach]

🥲

[proper nova]

i liked when he said it's sgsin time and he sgs'd all over the place

[gleaming shell]

Damn that ping

2mbps moment

[wise rampart]

how can I check this?

[misty furnace]

pinned command in this channel

[wise rampart]

thanks you

result

[latent breach]

After 9 long days, finally back to static pay

[latent breach]

It's like my normal ping

I get bw jobs with 160 ms ping

[misty furnace]

I have 2ms

[latent breach]

My fibre ethernet reporting 163ms ping.

[misty furnace]

yikes

(I have a librespeed server basically in my backyard in terms of computing)

like a 3h drive away

[gleaming shell]

The new libreshit server I'm Chicago is amazing for me

It's the new best server for me, second being atlanta

I get like 10 or 13ish ms ping

And maxed out speeds

[misty furnace]

Atlanta is my server

[gleaming shell]

I live 3.3h away from the server

If only they had a server in the city I'm in

[wise rampart]

so am i geting the bw jobs?

[naive lava]

That's pretty good bro

U don't expect the server to be like 10 mins away eh?

[gleaming shell]

Ye can't expect much from libreshit

There is a server in my city on ooklas speedtest but that's not libreshit so

[naive lava]

Ookla is literally widespread

[gleaming shell]

And sadly can't use the cli for commercial use

[winter wave]

Note: The only program developed by Salad is the official Salad app (http://www.salad.com/download)
We aren't able to provide support for any others, and we can't guarantee that they're safe to use.

[naive lava]

Libreshit, on the other hand, desperately tries to give u a horrible speed test instead

[gleaming shell]

I think the Virginia server is broken but libre still uses it

[naive lava]

With like 10 of its servers that are, possibly, not even in yo country

[naive lava]

Bro that one sux like shi

The upload speeds die for no reason at all

[gleaming shell]

Yeah for me it doesn't even try uploading them gives a result of like 0.37mbps upload

[naive lava]

Exactlt

When are they going to make a switch man

[gleaming shell]

soon

one day

[naive lava]

Soon my ass

[gleaming shell]

(never)

[naive lava]

AMD still ain't supported btw

[naive lava]

Ong

Love how ez it is to type on phone discord

[latent breach]

Running sgs for 12+ hours...only static pay

But, when I started to download a torrent, sgs started consuming bw

Why?

[misty furnace]

fr salad should use their gateways for speedtests. it would be a better test of real-world performance and I’m pretty sure they already have pretty good switching

[naive lava]

Salad's scared of investing in the bw sharing segment for some damn reason

Iirc, the last time someone (or me) had asked if salad could have their own bw sharing servers in the community support channel, the answer was that it'd not be possible for the monent

[upbeat shuttle]

it's more like they can't justify the cost of it

especially when the free option apparently performs "good enough" for them

[naive lava]

Exactly, they're being cheap for no reason

Librespeed is clearly not worth it, even when free. This shit's gonna cause more harm than good to their gateway service

Investing in something that can be helpful in the long run is not a bad idea. In fact, they shouldn't even be hesitant about it, given the situation

[upbeat shuttle]

you're not seeing the full picture

or rather, you know the full picture, your desires just sway your view

they're not being cheap for no reason, they're being cheap because they're being cheap

all they need is to know you're above a minimum speed of like 10mbps, which librespeed can actually usually hit for most people

paying for a speed testing service has been determined to be basically a waste of money, which wouldn't look good as they're in their improve profitability phase currently

[upbeat shuttle]

absolutely terrible earnings 🥱

[topaz dagger]

what is that bruh

[upbeat shuttle]

pfsense bandwidth usage graph

[topaz dagger]

show earnings

if ur gonna talk abt earnings

[upbeat shuttle]

the funny is not showing the earnings ;)

[topaz dagger]

nothing like inconsistent in bw

[topaz dagger]

not funny at all tf

[upbeat shuttle]

you'd be more upset if i showed the earnings

[gleaming shell]

US bandwidth moment

[frigid reef]

(also because i reinstalled a os on my 2nd pc)

[topaz dagger]

i rlly dont care

[gleaming shell]

the most us bandwidth image ever

(itll die)

[gleaming shell]

died lol

[topaz dagger]

ripp

[blazing slate]

how do i get sgs client to run

[misty furnace]

just chop

[blazing slate]

i did

should it run instantly?

ive been shopping for about 10 mins

[misty furnace]

nope

[blazing slate]

how long does it take

[misty furnace]

it can sometimes take weeks

[blazing slate]

whaat

so how do i know if its working or not

[misty furnace]

if you have no degraded errors it is working

[blazing slate]

also should it be downloaded? because i dont see it in my files

[misty furnace]

it will download when salad finds a workload for your device

until then, just wait

[blazing slate]

how long does that usually take?

[misty furnace]

it varies too much to give an estimate. I also don’t even know your internet speeds or what country you are in

[blazing slate]

UK, 1000down and up

i get more like 800 down 600 up when speedtest runs

[misty furnace]

uk has high demand but also a lot of competition. honestly no clue how long it will take

[blazing slate]

ok, ill just keep waiting

are you sure sgs isnt seen in files when salad is first installed?

i know it doesnt always run

but shouldnt it be installed

[misty furnace]

yep

it is only downloaded when you get a bandwidth sharing job

[blazing slate]

ight cool

where is it downloaded into?

is it this file

folder

[misty furnace]

yeah that _downloads folder is where you will see the zip

[blazing slate]

alright ill keep a look out

thanks

[blazing slate]

its been ages and its not downloading....

i have a feeling something is wrong

[latent breach]

Won't it be good for them to know the exact speed of the user to arrange them in the queue according to their speed?

That's how the queue work or not?

[upbeat shuttle]

mmmm

that might be a good idea in an ideal world, but they probably already have something like that on the customers' end, where they can figure stuff out about nodes

like max/min/typical speeds, latencies, ..

[latent breach]

Any explanation for this @upbeat shuttle

[upbeat shuttle]

coincidence maybe

[weak river]

hi, I have an issue, I am testing my speeds on librespeed website but I am getting low upload speeds on desktop, and when I am trying it on my phone with same internet connection I am getting normal speeds that I used to get before, I've also tried connecting my smartphone with my desktop via USB tethering but I wasn't getting the speeds I was getting on my smartphone, what could be the problem?

speedtest on desktop and smartphone

[desert pier]

Guys are your earnings for bw(only) uk rubbish ? ie less then 2.5 ~ 2.0

[upbeat shuttle]

<$2 isn't bad

[desert pier]

i have been waiting one month

nothing

[misty furnace]

actually in most cases, you’d be lucky to earn $1 from bandwidth sharing

[blazing slate]

im earning 0

its just not working

[honest marsh]

ive just offloaded honeygain to my raspberry pi and after a solid 7 months salad has started doing bandwidth jobs any reasons?

[azure scarab]

bw doing its thing

[peak terrace]

my bw has been pretty good today

just waiting for containers to be fixed

[gleaming shell]

the us could never

kinda eh

im earning above my average of 40 cents per day tho

[blazing slate]

you mean salad only started working after you uninstalled honeygain?

[honest marsh]

yeah i uninstalled honeygain

then salad started doing bandwidth sharing

although 7 months ago it also worked

[blazing slate]

ah

im gonna try that

@honest marshwhats your country?

and speeds

[honest marsh]

75mbps down and 19up in the uk

[blazing slate]

isp?

[honest marsh]

vodafone

[blazing slate]

and is your router ip set to static

or dynamic

[honest marsh]

public one changes

private is fixed

[blazing slate]

how much do you earn with those speeds

with bw only

[honest marsh]

like 1c per 15min when active

[blazing slate]

ah ok

not bad for 70

[honest marsh]

19*

[blazing slate]

what part of the uk do you live in?

[blazing slate]

london?

[honest marsh]

near london yes

[blazing slate]

not in london :/

70 is obsolete here

in london

i used to be on a 70 plan

[honest marsh]

are you having the same issue

[blazing slate]

well yes

[honest marsh]

70 is good for me

[blazing slate]

damn

[honest marsh]

i do a lot on it too

[blazing slate]

how long does it take to download stuff

i thought 70 was good for me too until i switched to gig

[honest marsh]

i host 5 websites, i watch youtube, and salad just runs in the background to collect any unused bw

[blazing slate]

damn cool

[honest marsh]

ive not complained once about speed

[blazing slate]

i mean aslong as its stable

70 seems enough for those things

[honest marsh]

if you're complaining you probably use wifi or you have something set up wrong

[blazing slate]

nah

when i had 70, i wasnt complaining

gigabit is just a huge qol improvement for me

[honest marsh]

fair

[blazing slate]

being able to download large files in like a tenth of the time

and the upload speeds are the same as download

[honest marsh]

but it comes at a cost

[blazing slate]

nah

its cheaper here

[honest marsh]

what provider

[blazing slate]

i was paying £33 per month for 70 down 20 up

now £25 for 1000 up and down

[blazing slate]

community fibre

its london only atm

and only some parts

[honest marsh]

thats really good

[blazing slate]

yeah i got lucky

[honest marsh]

we pay 25£/mo for 75/20

[blazing slate]

it came available in my area just as i was about to switch to virgin media

[peak terrace]

can you port forward on your connection

[blazing slate]

not bad, ive seen much worse prices for outside of london

[blazing slate]

yes

[peak terrace]

my friend got it and he couldn't port forward because it was a double NAT connection

[blazing slate]

why

[honest marsh]

nah virgin has shite upload speeds

[peak terrace]

and bandwidth sharing works?

[blazing slate]

let me see

[peak terrace]

there was sgnat for some reason

[blazing slate]

no but i think i could know why

[honest marsh]

also can you use a different router on community fibre

[blazing slate]

yes

although they provide a decent one

[honest marsh]

can you change dns

[blazing slate]

yes

its a linksys router

[honest marsh]

oh

[blazing slate]

you can change whatever you want

its not restricted

[honest marsh]

thats sick

[blazing slate]

mx4200

[peak terrace]

he couldn't get bandwidth sharing to even appear in salad with community fibre

[blazing slate]

what do you mean by appear

[peak terrace]

like the option is not there

its as if salad is treating it like he is on a vpn

or in an unsupported country

[blazing slate]

oh

thats strange

it appears for me

[honest marsh]

could be dns

doesnt community fibre do that thing that bt does

[blazing slate]

these are the related settings i can see

in router settings

[peak terrace]

yeah you will get the option but does it actually do anything

[blazing slate]

well, i havent tried that

[peak terrace]

if you set it up can you ping your pc from outside your network

[blazing slate]

what is it used for?

[peak terrace]

so you can access internal ports externally

have you ever set up a minecraft server

[blazing slate]

not locally

ive used aternos

[peak terrace]

basically

just a hole in your firewall that lets external connections poke your internal network through a specific socket

[honest marsh]

it basically lets a port past your firewall

[blazing slate]

ah

so does it like

let your server be controlled from another device

outside of the network

[honest marsh]

if your server allows that yes

it lets incoming connections to it

[blazing slate]

i see

[blazing slate]

how long did it take you to get a bandwidth job after you removed hg?

[honest marsh]

literally

like 10 minutes

so im guessing it is because of it

[peak terrace]

it lets external devices connect to a device on your internal network

such as me accessing a web server on my local network from a mobile data connection

[honest marsh]

also whats happened to salad on linux

[tardy swan]

not supported anymore

[peak terrace]

was it ever a thing?

I know salad used to be on mac

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah

salad used to be supported on both mac and linux

[misty furnace]

back when it was just an auto-miner yeah. was pretty easy to support mac/linux for that

[honest marsh]

also its not open source anymore

[blazing slate]

why not

[honest marsh]

idk

[shrewd terrace]

the web app is open source if that counts

[stray elbow]

What other services do you recommend using to earn with bw sharing?

[kindred helm]

@tight atlas hey delete this thread

[tight atlas]

erm

still active

[civic nimbus]

Love the cats

[opal echo]

For bandwidth, is it ok to restart Salad if I lose a job, or is it better to keep it running?

[upbeat shuttle]

restarting salad won't get you a job any faster

[opal echo]

Will it make it any slower though

[upbeat shuttle]

probably

it's a queue system

[civic fern]

it's a weird system

[robust creek]

the faster is your upload the faster you'll get the sgs

tested many times

[blazing slate]

never

[blazing slate]

this thread will remain active aslong as bw sharing exists probably

[peak terrace]

this thread is just the bandwidth sharing channel now

[gleaming shell]

There sadly isn't any that earn you much

Honeygain sucks

[honest marsh]

i run it on my raspberry pi 24/7 i get 10c per day

[peak terrace]

connections

[misty furnace]

nice

[honest marsh]

and also there is not much demand and same with salad but salad pays more

[robust creek]

scamgain destroys your ip

and you need to pay an enormous amount of fee when you payout unless you use their crypto

[latent breach]

My libre'speed' is just back to normal....sigh of relief

[robust creek]

crypto which keeps losing value more and more xd

[honest marsh]

what do you mean? intellectual property or as in ip address if so then you're wrong

[robust creek]

ip address

they destroy the reputation of you r public ip address

[honest marsh]

then you're wrong its not being destroyed

i have a dynamic ip

[robust creek]

back then when i used it, 1 month of using and the ip was so compromised that i couldn't partecipate to any survey because they thought i was using an anonymizing vpn/proxy

[honest marsh]

"ip was so compromised"

lol

[robust creek]

?

they also pay only the 30% of the traffic they use

if they use 1Gb the application says they used 300mb

CD turned off

[honest marsh]

yeah cd is a scam its the same regardless of how much data they use

yes that is my ip address

and ive had that ip for 8 days, 19 hours,

[robust creek]

wait 1month and see how it will get destroyed

i have static ip and i can't change it

[honest marsh]

ive used honeygain genuinely like 2 years

[robust creek]

what do you do with their crypto

[honest marsh]

used to but its hard to trade becuase noone exchanges it

[robust creek]

xd

then you need to pay 3$ fee when doing payout and give them your personal informations lel

[honest marsh]

do they not have the bitcoin option anymore

[robust creek]

they have but if i remember right you need to pay a fee there too

[honest marsh]

no bitcoin payments were free when i did them

[misty furnace]

mine is not unfortunately... I have gig symmetrical

[pulsar arrow]

wah

[blazing slate]

mine is

wifi

but sgs not working

yet)

[naive lava]

https://tenor.com/view/e-there-is-nothing-we-can-do-gif-1915861908606230748

I forgor to look into this channel xd

[naive lava]

Tho I could argue that librespeed having a trash server like Virginia is a real problem, since you aren't crossing that margin in terms of uploads, but man am I lazy enough to type on this goofy ah mobile discord

[misty furnace]

mobile discord gets worse every time it updates

[naive lava]

Mines the latest one

Idk what could be worse than this cramped ah ui
