SpeedTestCpp

Yet another unofficial speedtest.net client cli interface

It supports the new (undocumented) raw TCP protocol for better accuracy. Based on taganaka's good work at https://github.com/taganaka/SpeedTest

Features

1. Automatic server selection, unless manual selection desired or best server discovery based on speed and distance from you is wanted.

2. Automatic profile, unless unavailable or not desired, in that case; 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

Installing

Requirements

1. A modern C++ compiler
2. make
3. libcurl

Building

$ make

to build statically linked, provide SPEEDTEST_LINK_SHARED=yes environment variable for make.

$ SPEEDTEST_LINK_SHARED=yes make

Built default targets are static and shared library, speedtest cli program and minitest. Install process is manual, where you copy shared library to your shared library path with necessary symlinks unless you built static targets. Next copy provided binaries to your bin path.
