just- Posted August 6, 2006 CID Share Posted August 6, 2006 Okay so here is my theory i don't know how many people do the smart test vs choosing the size of the file, but i don't think the smart test is very smart why? well lets see when u click in smart test it downloads a small file if the file downloads really quickly it download the next file size until it stops when it hits a certain download time for a certain file size i don't know how it really works but i presume its like this so if it is a smart test why does it not think a bit smarter for example: if a user downloads 100Kb under 1 sec what is the point on going to the next one 300Kb file i think it should jump automatically to the 1Mb file and then if 1Mb file download is under 2 sec, don't go to 3Mb file jump to 5 Mb file i don't see why a guy with a 10Mb/s connection that download all the files under 5MB has to go though all the little files to get to the big one, it not only wastes time precious to the user but it also eats up bandwidth do you have any suggestions? did you understand what i am trying to say ?

tommie gorman Posted August 6, 2006 CID Share Posted August 6, 2006 It also did little good to clean out the temp files, when to get where you are going, you just have to load down some more. That is why when someone is having speed issues I suggest not doing the smart test. I get much faster U/L on the 579 kbps than I do on the 97 kbps smart. Stands to reason. Smart is for beginners only. Never thought about the bandwidth part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philp Posted August 6, 2006 CID Share Posted August 6, 2006 We should be able to start with a larger file, too. Most cable users can download fast enough so that the "largest" initial test is not large enough. I always have to run through the 2992 kB test first and then end up on the 5983kB one. :::..

coknuck Posted August 7, 2006 CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 Here is a straight 5 and 12 meg test. Clear your cache first before clicking because it starts as soon as you do. 5 meg http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/d_load.php?ni=1&tt=1&s=5983&st=st 12meg http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/d_load.php?ni=1&tt=1&s=12160&st=st Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told it's a T3 that's shared by 7 of our dealerships in Dallas and Houston, but that's the best speed I've seen here so far. BTW coknuck, where did you find those links? Pretty cool, but I was referring to just using the link at the top of this page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted August 7, 2006 CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think that's a T1, not a T3... Also I don't think 7 dealerships in different locations would share one internet connection.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything but the one I'm at is in Dallas. And yeah, it's got to be a T1 considering how slow it is, especially during the afternoon. When the internet goes down at the Dallas stores, so does ours. Same with the phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coknuck Posted August 7, 2006 CID Share Posted August 7, 2006 philp, I got them from Tommie Gorman who got them from CA3LE. I put them into favorites so I just test from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted August 8, 2006 CID Share Posted August 8, 2006 Nice speeds philp and using the 12Meg right of off the bat you did not have to fill your cache up to get there. Even faster in the evening with 2X the file size and in the afternoon. But the smart test is necesary for a new person to find out about where they should start.

CA3LE Posted August 9, 2006 CID Share Posted August 9, 2006 I'll actually be re-writing this pretty soon It actually was much smarter before I rewrote it the last time, the benefit now is that there is like 1000 less lines of code to do nearly the same thing. But with this new model I have some ideas to make it even smarter than it was before and still benefit from less overhead. As soon as I start playing with the code again I will for sure rework this, look for it in the next version of the tests -D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
