Is Multithread OFF for the Beta testing?

Yes and no... for right now.

 

For download it's enabled by default for upload it only works with multithread... until I push my next update. 

 

You may have already read this topic on it.  I got it fully working just last night.

 

 

As soon as the linear upload test is available in the beta, it will be the default option.  When you toggle the multithread option it will affect both upload and download tests.

@CA3LE One more question. In the Beta, how is My Average computed? - in the bar chart below the test results. I don’t know how it was computed before with Beta OFF either.

 

i had a really low test result and noticed the average went down, so it must be over a limited number of samples. 
 

just curious. However you’re doing it is OK

The graph points are averaged with the previous two graph points.

 

I explain this on the download and upload test pages, if you scroll down with the beta enabled. https://testmy.net/upload#test-info

The current version plots each point without any averaging, the timing are more raw but it also makes it prone to more anomalies.  

 

In the beta, the 15% progress is actually an average of over a dozen data points... the next point at 30% then does the same calculation and then averages that result with the previous.  At 45% it does the same thing except it includes the previous two points.  The remaining points continue to average with the previous two points.

 

Unfortunately this lowers the resolution but it draws better graphs consistent with what's happening.  Better for a live graph in this situation in my opinion.

 

The final result does not take any of that graph data into account, using only the start and stop times.  True for all versions.  Note: If you Tune ☆  "50th Percentile Result" the result will be calculated from the graph data.

OK.  I didn’t make myself clear enough. I meant the “My Average” shown in the actual bar chart at the bottom. I understand the results graph OK. I was just curious how the average shown in that bar was calculated.. it must be an average over some period of time, or some number of test results.

ahhh, "My Average" is taking the last 25 results into consideration.  That's a direct copy of how it's currently done.

 

This also filters your results by identifier and host.  So when you're on Spectrum you'll get an average of only those results, when you're on Verizon you'll get an average of your Verizon results.  Same is true if you visit on a desktop, android or iOS.  You'll only compare similar results.

 

But that's only for "My Average" -- the ISP and location are taking into account all results and come from a continuous 15 minute average that runs for all databases.  Those numbers constantly fluctuate with the current average user's performance.
