I'm working on it. I've wanted to add ping to the results forever. Every time I start to program that I get sidetracked into something else. I'll try to get latency included with the upcoming database upgrade. ... just like the upload progress bar, it's eluded me... but it's mostly because there are so many aspects to this program, it can be hard to get to everything. But yes, trust me... I want to add ping to the results.

I forget now... what did they call it when you bonded two 56k modems? ... I actually never even got 56k, I went from 33.3k dial-up to 3Mbps/128Kbps cable modem. I got it right when it became available, probably one of the first people in the US to get a cable modem, hence the nick. Funny, the first 56k modem I bought was like 4 years later... got it for a fax modem. Going from 33.3k to 3Mbps blew my mind at the time. Nearly 100x faster. Obviously I wanted to test it, that's when the predecessor to TestMy.net was born.

I'm talking about the bandwidth graph being wavy, not the CPU graph. I know for a fact that the bandwidth on the server isn't actually doing that. After reading more about how bonding really works it makes sense why it would look like that if it was only looking at one controller. Chanel bonding explained better than I can. I either have 802.3ad or balance-rr, not sure because Softlayer installed everything for me. I run RHELS (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server) 6.4 Santiago... I always run RHELS on my home server. I've used Red Hat since my first dedicated server, which goes back to before this speed test was called TestMy.net. I've always been impressed by it's security and stability. When I do have downtime it's NEVER a fault of my operating system... I mean never. Powerful operating system for web servers. Here's under a load of 4, the server can handle 24 before user transactions become delayed. I run Ubuntu on my other boxes because it's easier to work with sometimes. I'm not as concerned with security on those servers as I am on the main server. But I'm finding that Ubuntu is pretty awesome for a web server too. I'm running 12.04 on pretty much all my boxes now. I've had up times with some of my older Ubuntu 10.x servers up into 400-500 days. But then again, I wasn't pushing the kind of traffic through those servers as I am with TMN's home server. .....so, I'd rather not test out changing what has worked for me since the beginning. RHELS gets the job done, does exactly what I tell it to do and nothing more. That's what you want when you're building a web server, nothing to weigh it down.

I thought this was kinda crazy looking. Here's what the system monitor for the home server looks like. So many processing threads I have to scroll to see them all. That's a lot of processing threads doing a lot of stuff. This is under off-peak load, I'll post a screenshot from the middle of the day later. The network history is kind weird, it goes in and out, I'm sure it's because of the bonding I have (combining two gigabit ethernet ports). Only reason I can think of that would cause a wavy pattern to emerge in that graph... when the actual connection is flowing steadily. Anyone know of a way to get gnome-system-monitor to report correctly for a bonded connection? Or does anyone know of another good linux system monitor available? This displays the pattern better. It goes in and out. Because it's balancing the load between two interfaces. I need to know how to tell it to look at the bond interfaces not eth1 or eth0 but I don't see options. I think if it looks at bond0 it will see them combined, which would result in a fluid graph... but I'm not sure.

Then why would mine magically get better all of a sudden. Mine happened on an iMac, so it's not like we're talking about questionable drivers. ... the drivers could still be at fault but I don't think it has anything to do with being a hackintosh. He has the exact symptoms I had. ... I never figured it out because it resolved when I upgraded to Lion. The reconfiguring process of that install must have cleared whatever was causing it. Because if it was a driver or software bug Apple would release an update... they'd know about that by now. All I know is that there is a common denominator between his computer and mine because I had that exact issue.

No problem

If you hover over it you'll see explainations. It stands for Test in Progress measurments. It helps to show variations in the speed durring the test.

I've come up with something new. Personally I think that it adds a new demension on your download speed test results taken here. I devised a way to take measurments during the test, using those numbers I then plot a graph of the path of the download speed. Check out these insane speeds all the way from Singapore to Dallas TX.

This is in early stages, I'm only doing it on the default Texas server for now. I wanted to nail down the proof of concept before I expanded it to all the mirrors. I plan on expanding this to take more measurments and also log the information to a database. So you'll have not only a history of your tests... you'll basically have a history of tests within tests. You can really tell a lot about what happened durring the test with this extra information. I hope you all like the idea.

So average speeds and ranking of browsers and operating systems will be possible. So keep an eye out for that in the near future.

Hey Tim, welcome to TestMy.net! Sounds like you have good taste is operating systems. Is the hackintosh on wifi or ethernet? We hear that a lot around here. As you've noticed, TMN works different than other speed tests available. You obviously have an issue... If you didn't the file downloads wouldn't be exhibiting the same symptoms. You should just stick with the test that helps you troubleshoot best... I think that TestMy.net is the clear choice since others often don't detect MANY issues. With TestMy.net You can confidently test knowing that the results returned will reflect your true speed... Inflated results that only show your maximum speed don't help to solve connection issues. There is a lot more to those flash tests that make them a bad choice, read Why Do My Results Differ From Speedtest.net / Ookla Speed Tests? to gain a better understanding. Since it's only happening on the desktop computer I would bet that it's something software related. I have actually seen a similar problem in OSX when I was using Snow Leopard. Actually, it was probably the same exact problem. I never resolved it. It happened too intermittently for me to nail it down. Intermittent issues can be very difficult to troubleshoot sometimes. My problem was only resolved when I upgraded to Lion. After that, totally resolved. Never happens anymore. My Macbook and the Mac mini on Snow Leopard didn't have the issue like my iMac did. ...so I chalk it up to a driver software glitch maybe. It drove me nuts, every time I tried to attack the problem... it stopped doing it. I would bust out a 50 Mbps TestMy.net download test result, re-test and get around 8Mbps... it always would seem to lock in around 7.5-8Mbps. Then it would clear up and I'd start getting perfect results again, with a nice smooth progress bar. I test on my mini or macbook at the same time I'd get 40-50 Mbps while the iMac was getting 8Mbps. Drove me insane and I never figured it out, so I'd love for you to figure it out. If you upgrade to Lion I can pretty much guarentee you that it will resolve the issue, it did for me. Instantly, after I rebooted the first thing I wanted to know is if it resolved that. I never saw the issue again... it also seemed to come out of the blue, I'm pretty sure I was running Snow Leopard for a long time with no issues before it just started happening one day. ... I did have a sneaking suspicion that a program called little snitch may have had something to do with it. Do you run that?

I was just able to do that without a problem... CA3LE's NL auto upload results 3/2/13 --- I got pretty good upload speeds all the way to NL. I actually got slightly better results to there than Texas. Only on upload though. It tested 10MB upload every 10 minutes... I aborted before it finished 25 cycles. If you have a problem with that, try clearing your browser cookies. I'm currently rewriting nearly all the variables on the site controlled by cookies. I'm instead going to have them stored server-side in a database which is a more reliable method. It's one of many improvements that will be made leading into v14. Are you still having an issue with this?

I'm running a test with those settings... auto upload, every 5 minutes, 25 times, 10MB minimum... let that run for a little bit. Then I'll do the same thing on the NL server... I'll get back with you about this soon. -D

Welcome!

Cool, it's fixed. Size miscalculation issue, just in that specific instance. Easy fix. Thank you, thank you, thank you for pointing that out. Please let me know if you have anymore issues or if you have any suggestions on how I can make my service better. - Damon

Never mind... I duplicated the error. I'll let you know when it's fixed.

First, WELCOME! I know what that error is.. but I can't duplicate it. So I'm selected on the NL server... I go to the upload test and select a size manually... it works. I run an automatic test and select the sizes manually.. it works. I run other test types.. they work... I run download tests... they work too. I believe that you got the error... I'm just wondering why. That happens when form data required to process the results is missing from the request. First, try again... this may have been tied somehow to a glitch earlier that I resolved. (although I doubt it) ... if it persists, please clear your cache and cookies... if it still persists please let me know and I'll look deeper into the issue. You can also directly request tests using the following format. https://testmy.net/dl-1MB - 1MB Download Test https://testmy.net/ul-1MB - 1MB Upload Test Using this format you can manually select 1-200MB download speed tests and 1-33MB upload speed tests.

If you were requesting this from a mirror, simply append the subdomain. e.g. 1MB upload test to NL would be http://eu.testmy.net/ul-1MB. Also, enter the size in kB by dropping the 'MB' in the URL. e.g. https://testmy.net/dl-1024 would run a 1024 kB download speed test. -- Pretty nifty little trick, huh! Thanks for the feedback! - Damon
