Are there any plans to allow testing download speed from the probes? I guess this could cause problems for people who have the probes on metered bandwidth plans.
My SEK 0.02 to the Atlas admin is plese don't go that way. That would be a very safe way to have me yank my probe out effective 0.1 seconds from me getting the news. While Atlas performs a very important and valuable service to the community - which is why I sacrify some of my precious personal bandwidth for it - I want to caution agains "death by testing". "Just because you can" is not a good reason to perform capacity tests. But if it can honestly be said "If $we only knew the performance stats from region X for service Y, then $we could easily and effectively improve the experience for all internet users (i.e., not only customers of said service) in that region by doing Y.", then a discussion would be welcome. Finding a suitable value of $we is essential, though. /Liman #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Lars-Johan Liman ! E-mail: atlas@liman.net # Järneksvägen 19 !
