Speedtesting my a$$

Thursday, June 25th, 2009 | IDE, Tech-savvy | No Comments

I just moved into a new flat and as soon as my provider got me hooked up again I was keen on measuring the DSL speed I pay for. I tried a few so called speed tests, but they gave me awkward results.

There is a way to test the speed of your connection that worked for me. Download a recent release of eclipse (Galileo was just released) using a BitTorrent client. Whoooha, full throttle at the expected download rate. Now I am assured that I really get what I pay for.

I’ll never try to use some speed testing websites again… what a waste!
