Does anyone know if any alternative speed test apps for the Maemo OS (N900) besides "Speedy"? The problem with Speedy is that the file it grabs is apparently very small, thus resulting in an inaccurate speed test. It would be great if we could select a file size.

Perhaps we can have a command-prompt only application for this?

Any thoughts are welcome

So you're talking about download speed?

I always use www.speedtest.net in the browser on the N900.

Its a bit flash (?) heavy, but the result is reliable. I highly recommend this website!

cjp, I know about the web-based speed tests and they are great, but I was hoping for something a bit more integrated into the phone (not browser based).
