speed test

Hello, does anyone know of a site where I can do a speedtest that does require a gui. Either a command from a shell or something that works in text browser would probably work. Thanks daashag

hi,
I used to perform those types of test but they won't give you the accurate results.
Why don't you do this using FTP.

Thanks for the reply. So I just ftp a file down from my server and the speed I get is the the upload of my server.

Well it's the transfer speed from your server to the particular computer you're downloading to, at the particular time, with certain 'net traffic conditions...

Yeah thats the problem with doing ftp. My server is in the U.S. and I am in the Netherlands. Makes for too many hops to get an accurate reading of my internet connection to my server. I just installed vmware and loaded windows and remote consoled and and ran speed test, I know a alot of work just to run a speed test, but the windows box is actually going to server other purposes. Is there not a site where a text browser will work?
