Re: bandwidth test

Send a (big) file to somewhere with enough bandwidth to max out your upload.

Perhaps sending a big attachment to Yahoo or Gmail while keeping an eye on
the traffic logs might work.


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.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
