Download Speed Test

Download Speed Test is a small application that measures the downloading speed of your Internet connection or of a certain remote server.

As a drawback you may find it pretty inconvenient the fact that you should manually insert links for speed tests.

The downloading speed is displayed with the help of two indicators: the first one shows the actual download speed while the second one indicates the average download speed. For a longer download speed test you can activate the “Continuous download” mode.

The current and the average download speed are graphically displayed during the testing process. For more accurate results, you should repeat the test speed several times with different download links.

The program is also capable of displaying the value of the data transferred and the time used for this process. The speed variations during a download test are presented in a chart.

The app also features a built-in text report that gives information about the entire download process (date and time when the download test was performed, information about data transferred, time used and download speed).

You can make Download Speed Test check for updates at program start, set the browser that should be simulated by the program, display traffic in bits instead of bytes, and choose an output location to hold all protocol events.
