| canthus13 | yano: Nope. those speedtests are flash-based. (some are java based, but not many.) | 03:30 |
|---|---|---|
| yano | canthus13: yea, but no one has made a cli speedtest? | 03:30 |
| canthus13 | none that I've heard of. | 03:31 |
| Unit193 | I thought it was called wget... | 03:31 |
| yano | yea, but i'm looking for something a bit more robust for measuring speed than wget/curl | 03:31 |
| canthus13 | wget is just file retreival. | 03:31 |
| yano | yea and afaik only shows your speed at the end of the dl | 03:31 |
| yano | and not an average | 03:31 |
| canthus13 | it doesn't measure the speed of your connection, just the speed of your download, which is affected by a lot of stuff. | 03:31 |
| canthus13 | not the least of which being the server's bandwidth. | 03:32 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, but that's as close to one as I know. (It tells current speed, and I think that it's average) | 03:33 |
| canthus13 | if you go to speedtest.bex.net and click the link at the bottom for the high-speed test, you'll get a very comprehensive test that details the types of things that are tested to determine speed. (that one is also a java app instead of flash) | 03:34 |
| canthus13 | (It's not too accurate for speeds below 50mbit/sec. | 03:34 |
| BiosElement2 | So much for getting much sleep again | 07:23 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, I need to get that getting-to-sleep earlier down... | 07:24 |
| BiosElement2 | I blame my boss on several levels :P | 07:24 |
| Unit193 | Though I'm sure you have earlier mornings most of the time. | 07:24 |
| BiosElement2 | Wouldn't be so sure about that | 07:26 |
| * canthus13 yawns. | 14:07 | |
