jsbandwidth

I’ve just released jsbandwidth 0.1 over at google code. It’s a pretty simple project, but useful enough, I think, to share with the world. It enables you to run a browser-based bandwidth test locally on a LAN or WAN to test internal network links, rather than your connection to the internet. I’m aware there are tools out there that perform this function, but not many are free and most all require some sort of installation on the server or client (or both).

Using jsbandwidth is pretty darn simple.

• Identify a web server you want to host the files on.
• Drop the files into a directory on the web server
• Access the default.htm page remotely from the client

For the latest version, head on over to the project page at http://code.google.com/p/jsbandwidth.
