SpeedTest++

Yet another unofficial speedtest.net client cli interface

It supports the new (undocumented) raw TCP protocol for better accuracy.

Features

1. Best server discovery based on speed and distance from you.

2. Line type discovery to select the best test profile based on your line speed.

3. Aggressive multi-threading program in order to saturate your bandwidth quickly.

4. Test supported: Ping / Jitter / Download speed / Upload speed / Packet loss (UDP).

5. Provide a URL to the speedtest.net share results image using option --share
