Now that Speedtest is available as the authoritative and cross-platform Internet speed, bandwidth testing software, why does AppNee still share Download Speed Test such an application that is only able to test the downloading speed? The reason is that in addition to measuring the downlink bandwidth of your Internet connection, it can also test your connection speed to any remote server, or just check the performance of a web server.
Download Speed Test is a free and very simple download speed testing application for Windows, developed by Andreas Breitschopp from Germany. It is used to measure the download speed of your Internet connection by using any direct file download link from a website or server. On the other hand, when you check its "Continuous download" option, it also can be used to test the average, peak performance and stability of a specific web server.
Download Speed Test employs a dashboard-style UI, on which you can observe the downloading speed of your network connection to the specified address in real time (that is, the uploading speed of the remote server), thus measure your network connection speed/quality and the approximate downloading speed that the server can provide to users in your location. Its testing results are very accurate, therefore it is also suitable for webmasters and network administrators to use.
