User Guide: Running a Speedtest on Your Seedbox

To check the speed of your seedbox, follow these steps. Ensure your seedbox supports SSH access, as it is required for this process. If your seedbox does not have SSH access, you cannot perform a speed test.

1. Install Required Dependencies

sudo apt-get install curl

curl -s https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/ookla/speedtest-cli/script.deb.sh | sudo bash

sudo apt-get install speedtest

2) run the speed test

speedtest --server-id= (id here)

Replace (id here) with the specific server ID you wish to test against. If you do not specify an ID, Speedtest will select a server automatically.

Notes:

You can find server IDs by running:

speedtest --servers

here are common ones 

NL 6554

UK 55137

USA washington 30823

so for NL it would be

speedtest --server-id=6554

the first time you run this you will need to type yes and yes then hit enter once run it will give you a link to speedtest.net

The output will list nearby servers with their corresponding IDs. Choose an appropriate server ID for your location.

By following these steps, you can successfully measure the network speed of your seedbox.
