Torrents. Download a couple popular Linux distros and let it seed. Might have good luck after a new release.
Seed = uploadUpload, not download.
Speedtest is ok for an approximation of your lines capabilities though torrents are more of a real world test as opposed to a synthetic benchmark, plus I hate all the ads and extra cookies, tracking etc that speedtest.net asks you to opt out of these daysWhen things like upload and download speeds mattered to me I also used https://www.speedtest.net/ but ever since I got my dedicated t4 line....ehh...who worries about speed??
I totally agree!!Speedtest is ok for an approximation of your lines capabilities though torrents are more of a real world test as opposed to a synthetic benchmark, plus I hate all the ads and extra cookies, tracking etc that speedtest.net asks you to opt out of these days
Crazy amount of ads, this took 4 screen shots to list them all I think they got bought out a while back and since then I just haven't cared for speedtest.net, shame as it's probably the most well known and popular speed test sight in recent memory!I totally agree!!
