dloaded mb per server

Post by nzb_leecher »

I had a file to dload that was so old it required my payserver.
I wanted to know how much i dloaded there because i pay per mb.

Is it possible to add extra variables to sab? Instead of the mb's for all the servers together, show the dloaded mb's per server.

Maybe.
Is there a universal way of counting the bytes?
I mean, is it just counting all the bytes that come in our does the provider count the net payload?

Yes and no :-)
My priovider (astraweb) count only the dloaded bytes but not the headers. So i first start with dload headers from alt.binaries.boneless and those are 100 mb traffic they are not counted but if i dload a movie they are.
But now i think of it, sab doesnt header so in that case there is no problem. I guess its counting the amount of bytes sent and count the retrys/resends also.

btw i don't  expect 100% accurateness :-)  but an indication would be a big help to see how much money i spent or am spending.
Especially when my prim server is a few hours down for example, then all traffic would go via the sec server (pay per mb). If there were 10 dvd's in my queue it can add a lot to the cost without i knowing it. If i could see that the mb count on the sec sever is growing to much in a short period i could stop sab and try again the next day.
