    PM me a VPS sign up link and I'll set it up.

    improvements -

    • 3 new EU locations thanks to @Maounique from prometeus
    • 1 new CA location thanks to @MCHPhil
    • moved CPU test after the network speed test (because the main reason you're using this script is to see your network speed right?). The formatting is also much better.
    • added disk IO test (because LE{B,T} love it so much)

    • default file size for download and upload has been bumped up to 100MB. It should be more accurate but the test takes longer and uses 10x more bandwidth. I'll default it to 50MB (and have an option for it to go up to 100MB) if there's too much bandwidth usage.




      to do -

    • before the speedtest, get a traceroute and actually look up the IPs to get the ISP/Carrier names and print it out in a nice format

    • have 1 main speedtest file but make two more based on location. speedtest.us.sh only contains locations in the US and speedtest.eu.sh only contains locations in the EU.

    Enjoy :)

    any github repo? would be nice to fork ;]

    Nope, I can make a github account for it though but I see no reason to just for this piece of code. You can modify the code and re-purpose it provided that it remains open source and you give some credit to the original author. Enjoy :)

    well, it's up to you. i guess i will look in github for some similar code, it's better for me to be able to check changes of original code and merge them, than come back here and compare. i will see ;]

    I put the code up on github .

    What's new:

    +3 new locations in the US thanks to @HardCloud @concerto49

    +1 EU location thanks to @Ishaq

    speedtest.NA.sh and speedtest.EU.sh are available if you want to test your server in a specific region. NA = North America and EU = Europe.

    Will be pushing the latest update to github ASAP.

    Either GVH is experiencing some massive network issues, or your script is broken. But, I'm guessing GVH is having issues again, SURPRISE!

    Let it run a bit with screen or something and see what happens.

    I did for like 5 minutes, still nothing. I figured out it was GVH. It was downloading but it was only at like 40MB/100MB after 5 minutes when I checked out how big the file was.

    GVH is on a whole other level when it comes to internet speeds.

    Wow, that's 0.13 MB/sec...

    Maybe I'll let it run over night, and just MAYBE it will be finished by the time I get up in the morning.

    We're going to have IO issues fixed this weekend. CC is stocked in buffalo now and all our new nodes got deployed

  • meatonmeaton Member

    Worked great for me... and there seems to be a lot more test locations since you originally released this. Good job! :)

    Just ran the test earlier today, lucky me to have started a new month on my bandwidth. More or less (because I also used a small amount of bandwidth for other downloads/uploads) the new script uses up about 3GB of data. It takes longer, but at least the results are more accurate. Great job again with the script! :)

    Thanks! Japan, Australia, Florida (USA), and most recently Portland OR (USA), has been added as speed test locations.

    Indeed, it does use a lot of bandwidth. There's region specific speed test files available if you want to use those.

    http://dl.getipaddr.net/speedtest.NA.sh for North America
http://dl.getipaddr.net/speedtest.EU.sh for Europe
http://dl.getipaddr.net/speedtest.Asia.sh for Asia
http://dl.getipaddr.net/speedtest.AU.sh for Australia

    Alternatively, you can modify the speed test script yourself and only test with the locations you want. I think the code is pretty clean and modularized so it shouldn't be too confusing.

    I appreciate the kind words.

    It wasnt so impressive at start, but now is a comprehensive tool that is just getting better.
    Good job :)

    Just 1 thing, don't add 100 mbps shared, most people test 1 gbps ports, that is just wasting traffic, IMO.

    My dedi server from DataShack seems too slow to upload? How can I fix it?

    Looks horrible, my home connection does 100 times better in cases, upload is the most used traffic in a datacenter, it is possible they oversell it to the bone or they limit it because they are asked to by the content industry, but the latter is unlikely.

    You can open a ticket with DataShack.
