Connection speed

[aranaformae]

For Alfred 1 there was an extension which ran a speedtest for you connection.

I've not been able to recreate that feature with a workflow.. is there someone who can help me or just make it?

+1 on that, one of the most useful v1 extensions for me.

Do you guys have a link to the original? I'd be curious to see what it's doing. Then maybe I could recreate it for you

well.. don't know what the two buddies think of but I use this speedtest at the moment.

not really nice.

 

SPEED=$(curl -o /dev/null -w %{speed_download} --location http://speedtest.b42.eu/test.php?file=10M)
SPEEDMBITS=$(echo $SPEED | awk '{print $1*8/1000000.0}')

echo "Geschwindigkeit $SPEEDMBITS MBits/s"

You have to let it run for a moment, then a notification comes up.

This https://github.com/Janhouse/tespeed works with the undocumented speedtest.net API to do a speed test. It's in python, requires a module be installed and is probably overkill for what people are asking for.

it was from speedtest.net and i think this was the link i downloaded from http://blog.b42.eu/?p=44 .  

And i'll take a look at what DJay posted maybe that will just do!

The workflow Djay posted was exactly what i meant, maybe it's possible to do a Upload speedtest as well?
