@black I think it downloads the test file k to ram maybe?

Yeah that makes sense. Not sure why it does that though, it'd be better if it goes to /dev/null

wrox

I am satisfied.

someone knows what to change in the python code to save the file download on the disk instead of the RAM? I don't know python :P

Otherwise on <=256MB with no burst VPSes it won't run

Gets killed even on my 512MB Edis.at VRS. I'll see if I can change it to download to /dev/null. I don't know any python but how hard can it be?

Don't know but I saw it uses some URL (urlopen) function that goes directly into RAM, just like PHP (that I know)

def run(self):
try:
if (time.time() - self.starttime) <= 10:
f = urllib.request.urlopen(self.url)
contents = f.read()
f.close()
self.result = contents
else:
self.result = ''
except IOError:
self.result = ''

Anyone ever get this working on a 128mb LEB? Get errors on hostigation and buyvm.

Works great with 2gb CVPS

Why is this one so low?

Edit: To find out all the id's for the cli script, go here:

Man that readme file is a piece of shit.

Hi Nexus,

Take a look at the location. He tested from a speedtest server located in Wichita, KS, likely because a couple of our IP ranges were SWIP'd to that location. However, we do not even offer a hosting location out of Wichita, KS. As such - I do not feel it is a fair test, since the other speedtest's he posted for the other providers were probably in the same city/location as the servers were, whereas the speed test he did for us was out of a location we do not even offer services in.

@detpack has posted a speedtest result of our Los Angeles location, and the results are excellent.

Thanks,

Kevin

anyone know what's this error?

@cosmicgate
The script is very memory hungry. It has a tough time running on hosts with less than 512MB ram. I asked a buddy of mine (python guy) to take a look at the script and see if he could cache it to disk so atleast it would run. It's not perfect because disk write speed affects the results, but it is pretty close to the right numbers.
