Network Bandwidth Pressure Tester

A Python-based tool for testing network bandwidth capacity through multi-threaded downloads from various speed test servers worldwide.

Features

• Automatic Node Selection: Automatically tests and selects the fastest server based on latency
• Multiple Test Servers: Includes a curated list of speed test servers across different global locations
• Configurable Threading: Customizable number of concurrent download threads
• Real-time Statistics: Live monitoring of download progress and error counts
• Custom URL Support: Ability to test against user-provided URLs
• Error Handling: Robust error handling for failed connections and downloads

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• requests library

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/network-pressure-tester.git
cd network-pressure-tester

2. Install required dependencies:

pip install requests

Usage

Run the script:

python pressure_test.py

You'll be presented with three options:

1. Auto-select fastest node: The script will test all available nodes and choose the one with lowest latency
2. Choose a specific node: Select from a predefined list of speed test servers
3. Enter your own custom node URL: Test against your own server/URL

Configuration

• Default number of threads: 32 (configurable during runtime)
• Download chunk size: 1MB
• Connection timeout: 5 seconds

How It Works

1. The tool first measures latency to all available test servers (if using auto-select)
2. Creates multiple threads to simultaneously download from the selected server
3. Monitors and displays real-time statistics including:
   • Total elapsed time
   • Total data downloaded
   • Number of errors encountered
4. Test continues until interrupted (Ctrl+C)

Test Servers

Includes speed test servers from:

• Hetzner (Multiple locations)
• NForce
• TransIP
• OneAsiaHost
• And more...

Warning

⚠️ This tool is designed for network testing purposes only. Please be mindful of:

• Your internet service provider's data caps
• Server bandwidth costs
• Potential impact on other network users
