Description

Are you bored with overloaded speed test services? You don't have to use them at all, because you can run own webserver, serving large test files (custom size: 100 MB, 100 GB, 1 TB..., upto 8192 PB).

There is no more need to use publicly hosted storage services to download ordinary 100MB.bin. With a single command spawn own speed test instance to verify your Internet provider.
