Guest helloimtim Posted January 22, 2005 CID Share Posted January 22, 2005 Someone asked me once when running a donwload test what is downloaded and what happens to it. I never really thought about it until now. I think I have an idea but dont want to pass along mis imformation. Thanks and sorry if its a silly question.

At this website... random uncompressable data is sent to you, nothing is done with it... my script times how long it takes to download it and calculates from there... but the data is nothing of importance.

MICROWAVE Posted January 23, 2005 CID Share Posted January 23, 2005 What CA3LE gives us to download IMO is much better than many sites, getting something random is the best way. There are a number of sites that give the same images to download each time which is not a good idea..... Thats just one more reason that TESTMY.NET..... rox0rs.

Guest helloimtim Posted January 23, 2005 CID Share Posted January 23, 2005 Thank you all so much. So from what I understand the true test in downoading has alot to do with data the test utilizes to clock the download. Thats cool........learn something new every day. Thank you Have a nice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
