[03:30] <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?
[03:31] <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.
[03:32] <canthus13> not the least of which being the server's bandwidth.
[03:33] <Unit193> Yeah, but that's as close to one as I know. (It tells current speed, and I think that it's average)
[03:34] <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.
[07:23] <BiosElement2> So much for getting much sleep again
[07:24] <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.
[07:26] <BiosElement2> Wouldn't be so sure about that
[14:07]  * canthus13 yawns.
