Great idea..but

[blixten85]

I think this is a great idea, but it falls short in my opinon. What would be better if you used some already existing sites like ubuntu's mirror and code for option to speedtest either some 800mb file or some 2gb file, like the .iso for ubuntu.
Letting the user to choose something that fits his/her expected bandwidth a bit more accurate.

And let the script crawl either ALL mirrors, and rank the fastest countries with their speed output, or region wise. Like only Asia, US, Europe and so forth.

Some mirrors gives bad result when others can give good result, despite they are from the same country.

I think it comes to handy to know how good your speed is within your own country and to the rest of the world. How is the peering doing.

Shame i can't code, otherwise this would have been a project i would have done.
