This morning, I noticed that roughly every second multithreaded test I do ends up running a linear test. Just in case it was a cache/cookie issue or with Firefox, I tried again in Chrome after clearing my cache & cookies and it did the same thing as shown in the following screenshots: For example, I start by choosing the Multithread option and picking London UK: I then click Save and go into start a 25MB download: It then shows a screen as if I'm running a linear test and even suggesting I try the multi-threaded test: After the test completes, it shows the variation in the throughput throughout the test exactly like if I ran a linear test, yet shows the lightning bolt in the result line showing that I ran a multi-threaded test: Finally, when I switch back to Linear test mode, it defaults to the Texas server. Normally it defaults to the London UK one which is nearest to me: Going a little off topic here, but when I went to make this thread, I noticed that the forum will not let me upload images either. The images in this post are on my own host as I couldn't upload them. Sure is a strange morning even back at home. I noticed that I could not connect to either of my Internet connections (DSL or fixed wireless.) The router for the fixed wireless crashed (a reboot fixed that) and one of the HomePlug adapters for the DSL has died.

Thank you very much, this is very helpful. I do get better upload bandwidth to DE than to GB.

Have no idea how I left out the specific servers and never thought twice about the throughput Oo --2015-08-15 15:22:56-- http://de.testmy.net/dl-200MB Resolving de.testmy.net (de.testmy.net)... 85.90.245.112 Connecting to de.testmy.net (de.testmy.net)|85.90.245.112|:80... connected.
