    How to do a speedtest directly on a Linux receiver?

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if anyone has an easy way of doing a speed test directly on the Linux command line on the Linux receiver box, or is there a plugin for this? I would like to check what speeds the box is getting.

    Thanks,

    dcGT

    There's a plugin called netspeedtest - the graphic for it will be familiar enough.

    Hi - think you had a preference for the bash prompt, so try:

    wget -O speedtest-cli https://DOWNLOAD_FROM_SOMEWHERE_ON_W...er/CODEFILE.py
    chmod +x speedtest-cli

    On second thoughts, I might be breaking rules by quoting a 3rd party address so blanking/changing some of it but leaving the command name and need to change perms should be OK? Admin, please amend post if not. You should be able to find this with simple search.

    Perfect, thanks iwg and bluepassat.
    Very helpful!

    In terms of the website, is this the site where the ipk is or what is contained on the ‘DOWNLOAD FROM SOMEWHERE’ site? Just wondering what I should look for

    Cheers,

    dcGT

    just download a file from a site using the command line and it will show you ur download speed and upload speed while downloading

    it will have to be a fairly big file and best to download something from somewhere that you know has a good connection. id use heanet to download something from here in ireland.
