Synopsis: DownTester tests your Internet download speed by connecting and downloading from multiple locations. It will sequentially test the download speed of URLs that you choose, going to the next after specified number of seconds has been elapsed or after it downloads the specified amount of KB according to your preferences.

DownTester also allows you to test the speed of network shares on your LAN (for example: \\MyComp\f$\temp\myfile.zip). However, be aware that this test calculates the speed by using the number of bytes read from the file, instead of counting the number of bytes transferred over the network. A detected bottleneck may therefore not be caused by your network equipment, but the computers on it.

Writes settings to: Application folder

How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch DownTester.exe.

What's new: >>

Fixed the Mbps values calculation which was based on 1024 X 1024 bytes instead of 1000 X 1000 bytes. (This means that in previous versions, the Mbps column displayed a lower value than the real Mbps speed)

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
