The speedtest.net site has a free mini edition (http://www.speedtest.net/mini.php) you can download and extract to some http available path (asp, php, jsp all supported). It's a flash applet, easy to wrap into your own page. Transfers one of ten large JPG files of random noise (largest is 31MB). IIRC, it somehow does a pretest to select a file that should take > 10 seconds.
If you're connected at >100Mbit to the hosting server then the results are rather bogus (not enough time in flight to get any meaningful averages).
