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.

5. Provide a URL to the speedtest.net share results image using option --share
