continuous-internet-speed-test

Continuous Internet Speed Test is a little tool to continuously test the speed of the download bandwidth. For that purpose, a dummy file is automatically downloaded in a specified periode.

Starting the tool

You can start the tool with an argument that specifies a custom config-file: java -jar cist.jar /path/to/your/setting.ini. If no configuration file is specified, the default settings.ini will be loaded.
