He want's something he can "download to his PC" whatever that means.

Any speed test is going to have to connect to a remote server, so there's no point in making one you have to download, if the website is more than sufficient to time the transfer of a file.

If you're talking about tools to diagnose various connection issues, that's a different question.

no... I'm looking for something like the surfspeed test: contacts hundreds of servers around the world, downloads a small file, logs latency and times the transfer. I need it to be in program form so the other testers (who are not the most computer savvy) can just run it and send the output file back to me.
