Recently my DS3 has been turned up to 8 megabits. How can I test to see if
I can actually achieve that throughput?
Online bandwidth test sites are only good for up to 5mb at the most, and
my upstream doesn't have a method to test that.

We've been LART'ing some of our colo clients lately for running bittorrent
trackers[1].  They seem to have no problem filling a 10mbps port rather
quickly.

1: we do not run a commercial colo. our AUP does not allow this behavior.
no need to create a separate discussion about this. eof. :)
