There should be some sort of static URL we can use to download a large file to do a speed-test from a command line, such as Ubuntu server. For example, we should be able to use wget and go to a static file on whatever test server we prefer. (I.e.: dallas.testmy.net/static?size=5 which would download a 5MB file) Thanks, EBrown

The test should request the bandwidth that the user expected. This doesn't have to be the bandwidth they were actually (legally) promised, but what they understood they would get. This could be provided once for the Auto Test, and after each individual test. A default value could be stored in a user account, but the user would have to press a big button to confirm it each time. This would provide three possible types of values: User Entered/Confirmed: xMbps Profile default: xMbps Last Entered/Confirmed: xMbps I think this extra data is very useful.

Handbrake is awesome. Especially for quick codec conversions. Actually they do have a version for windows and even Ubuntu. Download Handbrake -- You may also want to try VirtualDub. Both are completely free. Plus, I love this... "Put down that cocktail, your Handbreak queue is done!"
