Sorry I'm seeing this way after it was posted.

 

 

You can do that but be careful that you aren't repeatedly hitting it... testing only seconds apart, over and over for instance is sure to trigger a blacklist.  But if you're testing using normal intervals you're fine.  

What would be an acceptable limit? 1 test every X minutes? X MB downloaded every Y minutes?

Hello there,

Given a recent networking problem on my networking setup, I've decided to write a simple CLI client for testmynet. I know, we can test download speeds using wget, but a proper client good have some nice goodies such as:

- Keeping the internal list of servers.

- Choosing the closest server by latency.

- Choosing a random server.

- Being a collectd plugin (my main motivation).

Before I embark on this (admittedly short) journey, I have a few basic questions:

- Is there anything similar out there? I couldn't find it.

- Anyone would be interested in such a tool? I find the collectd integration super useful.

- Is there any limit on how many times I can query a server before being blacklisted? I do not want to cause problems for TMN. The idea is to use the /dl-XXXXX URL to download a fixed amount of data.

Thanks in advance.
