Hi,
I know this isn't a giveaway or a request, but this may concern users who giveaway or respond to requests.

If you're a person who give invites and make your decision depending on a speedtest this is important to you.

Here's my speedtest

Did you believe me?
You got tricked
Sure it looks genuine, direct link .. today's date and all

just by messing around with the link

you can find the speedtest you want for the speed you want, I found that one in 30 seconds.

Before you say anything, I know there's no foolproof way to guarantee that the test is genuine, but here's how to make it harder for the bad guy

Since taking a speedtest is easy and it takes 2-4 minutse (sometimes less sometimes more) .. Ask for 2 or 3 speedtests to different servers.
What good does it do?
It's very unlikely that the bad guy will get 3 random speedtests with same ISP in the result and in the same day and in a close time.

So please, don't just ask for 1 speedtest, ask for 2 or 3.

If you are the kind of person that gives away invites based solely on speedtests then you are pretty much deserving of whatever happens.

Many users have been given infractions for faking their speedtests. Idol was a specialist.

Was it the Canadian tuxedo or wanting to pour maple syrup on everything that gave him away ?

I had just come from long hard bike ride and consequentially was smelly,self-involved and ill-tempered so you just assumed I was pretending to be French.

Maybe that's just the definition of French

have better idea speedtest isn't the problem here some guys have low speed but they are seeding torrents faire enough
so i've an idea about it let's ask for ss and links .what r they ?and how ?
1-picture from the torrent client including a torrent any one what ever the ratio was or even up speed (the torrent name is unedited)
2-picture from his hard disk (location of the file he is seeding)
3-the torrent link from the site
now we've just make sure that he isn't cheating . Then u can ask him for a speedtest
what do u think ? ;)
for me it's good one
