WGET - command line speed test

Requirements: wget + files of know size hosted on internet

Here's where you can get wget: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/wget/1.11.4-1/

( Direct download URL https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/wget/1.11.4-1/wget-1.11.4-1-setup.exe/download )

The setup will install at C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\ and you'll need to open a Command Prompt at that location - example: 

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin"

And here's a list of the recommended files:

100 MB file: http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/100MB.zip

1GB file: http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/1GB.zip

Once installed, simply call wget form the command line, for example:

wget http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/100MB.zip

And here's an example of the speed test result, showing a live speed measurement as the file downloads:

Note that the speed is measured in M/s, not Mbps! 100 Mbps = 12.5 M/s

So, in our example, to convert 8.27M/s into Mbps we divide by 0.125  (8.27 / 0.125 = 66.16 Mbps)
