Your right it is the best site....I also have used other sites but this is the ONE......the person who is responsible for this cool site is Ca3le Guy , and I cant speak for him but he has always encouraged people to test often and he has enough bandwidth for us to test often as I do and many others do.There have been many ,many improvements since I first joined this site but it has always been the most accurate, and cool people to answer questions which makes for a nice place to visit often....So tell your friends and keep coming back:)And your speeds are killer

Well thank you for the encouragement and praise, I always love to hear it.

As for people slamming me... it's going to happen, I have literally hundreds of thousands people at this site a month (and growing every day) --- there will always be people that complain and I really don't care.... because if the site really sucks... I wouldn't have hundreds of thousands people at this site a month -- If a site sucks people don't come, and I do not at all advertise, 100% word of mouth.  Again if a site sucks, people don't tell other people

As for bandwidth... I'm only touching 1/10 to 1/8 of my bandwidth, I don't want people to abuse my service... but I am not going to cry if you test as often as you need to --- my contextual advertisments I have on the site far more than pay for the huge expense of hosting this site... and as I have said in the past, if I ever get to the point to where I am running out of bandwidth... I will just buy up another server  

Name another site that offers SQL logging of test scores without having to sign up or pay for it ~~ also name another site that graphs those results... also name another site that has taken extra care in ensuring that the server used actually meets the application.

But one thing I do admit is that I need to work more on my upload test, it is out dated and is not as accurate as I would like it to be -- it is an extreamly hard test to perfect (to where it's accurate on EVERYONE's machine), and this is why most test sites don't offer upload tests -- but I am completely re-writing it... that is going to take me a while

People like yourself are what has and will motivate me to move forward.

There is only a very small amount of people  that talk crap anyway and there always will be... with every site on the internet, hell people talk crap about google and we all know how friggen awesome google is.  In d_load.cgi (the parent PERL script for the download test) there are over 1000 lines of code or about 28,000 characters of hand-written-code.. there are at least 10 other scripts that tie into that script alone and all and all at least 100 different scripts that are on this site at least(some of which you guys don't see).  In the complete development of this site including old versions I have most likely written over a million lines of code --- having said that, I would like to see any one of those people that talk crap do any better // I think for a one man show I have done pretty awesome... not to toot my own horn or anything  

Very nice scores by the way... I only get half of your download

My database is in MySQL -- as of right now I have logged about 550,000 scores since June --- My database is pretty optimized and is only 45MB right now --- the size of the database does not matter to me I have 160GB availible to me on my server , I just need to make sure that the database does not get too big that it becomes slow for queries.

Right now I have Comp_ID indexed --- so that speeds up personal stats queries.

I think that I will be able to hold at least a year of stats without speed becoming too much of an issue... maybe more than a year of stats --- if I do need to perge, I will just optimize the table once a month and drop off the oldest month logged --- but for now it's running great, MySQL server is really proving how awesome it is to me.

Welcome to the dork club... It is a great club to be in,..   I am happy to be a member and am constantly throwing out plugs for this site... Hail CA3LE         <--- just had to add that...

   

couldnt said it better myself
