Those are my go to tools, and though the learning curve on them is steeper, you'll get a lot more out of it in the long run.</div><div><br></div><div>Laura Solomon from the OPLIN office wrote a bit about those "speed testers" a couple years ago: http://www.meanlaura.com/archives/category/oplin</div><div><br></div><div><span name="x"></span>Karl Jendretzky<br>Technology Manager<br>Ohio Public Library Information Network<br>jendreka@oplin.org<br>(614) 728-1515 <span name="x"></span><br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Eric Lochtefeld" <eric@mercerlibrary.org><br><b>To: </b>oplintech@lists.oplin.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Friday, June 13, 2014 12:25:49 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>[OPLINTECH] Library Host Speedtest<br><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Our Library would like to join the Speedtest.Net Network and host a speedtest in our library. We are doing this because of our OPLIN Circuit upgrade this week. I want to know if anyone has ever hosted SpeedTest.Net Mini on a server. I have one setup but am having problems testing upload. We are using IIS 8 to host it and I think the problems are with posting to http size limit. <br>
