I've been busy lately (Working on my beat-em-up game, which is practically ready to test). Now, I have a little time to spare, so I'll start slipping in some tips and tricks for you all. Want to know your real internet speed? A little clearing first. For those of you who think there are programs out there that can do that sort of tests, I'm afraid you've been mislead. There aren't any. Why? Because to measure that speed, your computer needs to signal out to a remote server and get a responce. Where would the program send that signal to? There are however, tons of sites that do that test for you. The most accurate one I found was McAfee's. Here's the link. Keep in mind that your reading speed is measured in Kilobits, so you'd have to devide that by 8 to change its unit to KiloBytes and get the download speed. Enjoy. Peace out.
