Our upload bandwidth test works by measuring the time it takes to upload
a block of random text to a temporary file on an ftp server.
The ActiveX control on the test page generates the random text, and sends 50 KB at a time
to the ftp server until at least 5 seconds have elapsed.
It then deletes the file from the ftp server,
and calculates and reports the transfer rate in kilobits per second.
Testing,
please wait...
If you see an ActiveX security certificate,
please accept it by clicking on the YES button.
The upload bandwidth test uses an ActiveX control to send data to the FTP server.
If you have run the full tests recently, the upload bandwidth test will use the ActiveX
control that is already on your system. If not, it will download and install the ActiveX
control before running the timed upload test.
