Have you guys thought about this?

http://www.speedtest.net/mini.php

It's a mini embedded version of Speedtest.net. I think this would be pretty useful in assisting fellow users quickly with connection issues and then verifying results agter problems are discussed and fixed. Just an idea

I guess as long as it uses the same test server with everyone it should be good. I always get better results using a closer server. I get around half the speed result of the mini one then if I can pick a server.

but if u click on test, once its run it shows servers closer to your location. You can also change servers and whatnot as it takes you to the actual site

I noticed that. Is there a way to pick a default server for it to test from?
