Seedbox speedtests... How to?

[central2rbay]

Good Afternoon All,

Was just curious if anyone could instruct me on how to structure a speedtest on my seedbox? It's a remote subscription, and the seedbox has a UTorrent web interface. If any other details are required, please do let me know!

If you've got access to ONLY the web UI then tough luck, only way would to be snatch a torrent and show them the constant speeds you get for both DL/UL. If you can use RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) then VNC in and if it has a desktop (Windows/Debian or Ubuntu with Gnome) then install Flash on it and then do a normal Speedtest.

if you have root login, well just login depends on what OS you have, if its windows open up IE download flash and firefox and just go to speedtest.net.

I have always used this site for server tests http://www.numion.com/ since it does not require flash and is a far more accurate test of the throughput of a server rather than a home connection. Some of the large datacenters also house speedtest servers so there is the possibility of you connecting to a server within the same datacenter making the test invalid.
