Incorrect speedtest result #1

The script only 30mbps DL and 10 mbps UL. Speedtest.net says 450 DL/75 UL.

When I monitored the test together with the network traffic on Task manager/Performance/Ethernet, I have noticed once the script still "waiting" to complete to DL test when the task manager says has no traffic for seconds.

Currently the largest upload / download file size that can be set is 30 MB. On high bandwidth connections this isn't large enough to calculate an accurate speed. In a future release I'll be looking at changing from a set upload / download size to a variable size. Hopefully allowing more time to calculate an accurate speed with high bandwidth connections.

I assume not that the only problem. You measure the running time of async process. When I monitored the traffic on the interface, the traffic was already stopped clearly about 5-10 sec when the async process completed.
