Any API to get speedtest results?
I would like to know if there's some "Speedtest.net" like websites that could provide the result of a speedtest in XML format, or any other readable format?
This web site use a flash application and i don't see how i could get the result from my application.
Thanks a lot for your help

thanks modus_operandi.
Matti, what are you suggesting exactly? GetTickCount will simply give a time at the beginning of a process, and the time at the end.
To get a speedtest of an internet connection, i must upload a bunch of data to a really fast server (other than our own server), and also download a bunch of data from it, and count the difference of time between each operations. That part i could figure out...
I guess for the download i could try to download a big file from a very fast web site, and do some kind of calculation trick with the result of a ping -l 20480 SomeWebSIte.com (by checking how long it took to transfer 20Kb of data). But i've tried that, and it doesn't give a good result...

at least it give us a tip to see if there's a problem with the moderator connection, the participant connection, or our server load.
If i don't find any better solution, i think we will use this solution since it start automatically and that we can get a readable result.

@Ray, It doesn't seems to give any speedresult.
But i think the web site i've found will give us a good idea of the connection of our customers. So i'll close this question
