Have you looked into IPerf? https://iperf.fr/
This is what I typically use for testing network throughput. Downloading a file is a bit more complex and involves things like the source server/latency/etc. as well as disk performance. (I know a 100MB file isnt much but still...) IPerf has a lot of knobs to tweak, like number of threads, TCP window size, etc. You will need 2 hosts, one to act as server and one as client. I recommend the latest stable version of iperf3, which is available as a package: $ doas pkg_add iperf3 Hope this helps. On Fri, Jul 13, 2018 at 7:20 PM, Sijmen J.
