How do you generate test-traffic?

@GruensFroeschli:

How do you generate test-traffic?

I was downloading torrents .. also if i hookup my modem direct to my pc i get 9.0+ mbps upload test but when i connect via pfsense i get only 4+ mbps

Both modem has 32.0 mbps download & 10mbps upload subscribed via Sonic Cable

You should try a more reliable test like wget ing something from a server you know can provide the bandwidth.
If you start the download multiple times (or with a download manager) you should see the different connections on the two WANs.

I think you could use as a test-download a file from here: http://zhaw.ch/~maym

cool , after adding 10 link in download manager it work's :) but still can't figure out why upload speed went down from 9mb to 4mb?

Hey GruensFroeschli,

any idea on why my upload speed died from 9mb to 4mb? … my one modem gets 14.5mb upload & Second one gets 9mb ... on speed test it only show's 4mb & if i hookup the modem to my pc direct it shows 14mb ..

Thanks

Which speedtest-service do you use?
I think they are an unreliable test as well.
Try to find a fast server where you can upload something and then test to this.

Otherwise: Do you see any errors? High CPU load? Anything related to something not really working?

i tried uploading to rapidshare & my company T1 dedicated server i only get 2.5mb upload speed max was 3.2mb on private file servers.

I think i have more then inuff cpu & ram? i got AMD 3500+ & 2gb ddr2 ram
