# SpeedTest++
Yet another unofficial speedtest.net client cli interface
It supports the new (undocumented) raw TCP protocol for better accuracy.
## Features
1. Best server discovery based on speed and distance from you.
2. Line type discovery to select the best test profile based on your line speed.
3. Aggressive multi-threading program in order to saturate your bandwidth quickly.
4. Test supported: Ping / Jitter / Download speed / Upload speed / Packet loss (UDP).
5. Provide a URL to the speedtest.net share results image using option --share
## Installation
### Requirements
1. A modern C++ compiler
2. cmake
3. libcurl
4. libssl
5. libxml2
### On Mac OS X
```
$ brew install cmake
$ cd cmake_build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
$ make install
```
### On Ubuntu/Debian
```
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev libssl-dev cmake
$ git clone https://github.com/taganaka/SpeedTest
$ cd SpeedTest
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
$ sudo make install
```
### On OpenSuse
```
$ sudo zypper install cmake gcc-c++ libcurl-devel libxml2-devel libopenssl-devel git
$ git clone https://github.com/taganaka/SpeedTest
$ cd SpeedTest
$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
