How To Test Your Seedbox Speed?
By Zbat
There is a solution now First of all you need Python 2.4-3.4 installed (if you have deluge installed you have it )
you can check by writing this command in ssh
python --version
if it says something like this: Python 2.7.3 you have it , if says : command not found you don’t have it
IF you don’t have it run this command to install it
sudo apt-get install python
Now let’s download it
wget -O speedtest-cli https://raw.github.com/sivel/speedte...eedtest_cli.py chmod +x speedtest-cli
if you run
speedtest-cli -h
you will get this usage comands
usage: speedtest-cli [-h] [--bytes] [--share] [--simple] [--list]
[--server SERVER] [--mini MINI] [--source SOURCE]
[--version]
Command line interface for testing internet bandwidth using speedtest.net.

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--bytes Display values in bytes instead of bits. Does not affect
the image generated by --share
--share Generate and provide a URL to the speedtest.net share
results image
--simple Suppress verbose output, only show basic information
--list Display a list of speedtest.net servers sorted by distance
--server SERVER Specify a server ID to test against
--mini MINI URL of the Speedtest Mini server
--source SOURCE Source IP address to bind to
--version Show the version number and exitNow let’s use it
if you run simple :
./speedtest-cli
You will get :
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration... Retrieving speedtest.net server list... Testing from LeaseWeb B.V. (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)... Selecting best server based on ping... Hosted by Websitebeheer JD (Dronten) [4.33 km]: 14.385 ms Testing download speed........................................ Download: 454.51 Mbits/s Testing upload speed.................................................. Upload: 124.70 Mbits/s
I think the most important feature is the share, that generates a link to the speedtest.net like you do the speedtest as usual
./speedtest-cli --share --simple
And you will get something like this
Ping: 13.669 ms Download: 808.39 Mbits/s Upload: 140.10 Mbits/s Share results: http://www.speedtest.net/result/3472429138.png
if you want to make a speedtest to a specific server I recomand to do this (default is make the speedtest to the closest location) if you do not know the server number
./speedtest-cli --list > list.txt nano list.txt
This comand send output to file and now we can see it
This is the file generated : http://www.girlshare.ro/33530118.6
In this text is all numbers of server sorted by distance
If i want to make a speedtest let’s say to London, so search for London and you will find the first :
1854) MWEB Connect (London, Great Britain) [415.33 km]
So we get the server number now let’s speedtest
./speedtest-cli --share --simple --server 1854
and we get output

Special thanks to developers for making this awesome script !
