Always tried to find an internet speed test site that didn’t require Java Script to test my AOS 3.X machines - quite unsuccessful. I noticed a program on AmiNet the other day called AmiSpeedTest. Here’s a link…
http://aminet.net/package/comm/net/AmiSpeedTest . It doesn’t seem to actually use a local or remote file for the test - but gives good results. It seems to be able to connect to different local internet providers randomly. But, that’s a good thing, IMO. Now, on to the test results!
First a benchmark of my internet provider…
1st test is an A1200 with an ACA1233N accelerator and a Netgear 11MB/s wireless card. AOS3.5. Results were 538KB/s Download & 350KB/s Upload.
2nd test is an A1200 with a GVP Typhoon accelerator (in my sig) with a 3COM 3CXE589ET 10MB/s ethernet card (notice X-Jack - NOT a fan!). AOS3.5. Results were 1104KB/s Download & 1190KB/s Upload.
3rd test is an A2000 with Blizz 2060 accelerator (in my sig) with a Individual X-Surf 10/100MB/s ethernet card. AOS3.9. Results were 2210KB/s Download & 1895KB/s Upload.
What do these tests mean? Well, not a whole helluva lot!
But it’s great Amiga fun! Show us your speed test!
Hey, maybe Doug the 10 Minute Retro Guy could create an "in-depth" video for us!?
BTW, run the CLI program, it's better as it runs in a window. The other program runs full screen.
BTW2, it would be awesome if someone had the talent to animate the program!
BTW3, OS3.9's Unarc program can't unpack the LHA correctly. It's a speedtest program bug. However, using LHA to unpack works fine.
