This is a program that tests the upload and download speed of servers. Basically it runs a series of upload/download tests on multiple servers to give you a raw transfer speed. Useful for finding how fast your machines are. It is open source so that you are able to add multiple speed test servers to this system.
Thanks go to gman24 for helping me with this prog and hellraiseruk for giving me the idea of making it in the first place.


Fixed the upload name bug, making it generate a random number up to 9999999. Also added country support.

Very nice! Written well too :)

Just got one question...in a lot of source I've seen in C and C++, I've noticed that variables are used to take the return value of functions, which are then checked...like this:

ftpopen = InternetOpen(NULL, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT, NULL, NULL,INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC);
if (ftpopen == NULL)...

My question is could you just check the return value as the function is called? Like this:

if (InternetOpen(NULL, INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT, NULL, NULL,INTERNET_FLAG_ASYNC) == NULL)...

For that function and the one following it I had to establish a handle on the connection. Basically internet open returned a handle to the connection that I could use along with an error code if it failed. The reason for that is because I needed to use that handle in functions that came afterwards.

ftpopen = InternetOpen(

see what i mean..i use ftpopen as the handle here:
ftpconnect = InternetConnect(ftpopen,

Burner..you know what seems to have happened to cause you to have a fake upload speed. The program generates a random file with a name from 1-1000 since the upload directory of those ftp servers does not delete the file after you upload it. As a result everybody here has to upload a file with a different name. In your case you generated a filename(number) that was already used by someone else. I didn't anticipate that happening actually, but I'll change the random number generator to a much higher number.

Kenshin...the reason that this tool doesn't write the country name is because I generally only test from US versions. If you add ftp servers from different countries then the country name would matter. I'll add that feature to the next version. Remeber this is open source and I did include a list of localized ftp servers so you can add your own servers from any country that you want.

Also keep posting the bugs that you find in this program..lol real world by you all finds bugs that I haven't even considered.
