SpeedTest Bash Script

A Bash script to test download speed from multiple URLs using popular download tools (wget, wget2, axel, aria2c) on Linux. Supports single and multi-connection tests, shows real-time progress, speed, and estimated remaining time, and prints a summary with averages at the end.

Features

  • Works on Ubuntu, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux.
  • Supports tools: wget, wget2, axel, aria2c.
  • Supports single and multi-connection modes.
  • Automatically installs missing tools.
  • Shows live download progress and speed.
  • Generates summary table with final speed for each test.
  • Calculates average speed per tool and mode across multiple URLs.
  • Fully interactive: choose tools, modes, or run all automatically.

Requirements

  • Linux system (tested on Ubuntu 20+, AlmaLinux 8+, Rocky Linux 8+)
  • Bash shell
  • sudo access for installing missing tools
  • Internet connection

Installation

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/mobinhost/SpeedTest.git
cd speedtest-bash
  1. Make the script executable:
chmod +x speedtest.sh

Usage

Run the script:

./speedtest.sh

The script will:

  1. Ask you to select download tools (e.g., wget, aria2c).
  2. Ask you to select test modes (Single connection, Multi connection).
  3. Download the test files while showing real-time progress and speed.
  4. Generate a summary table with final speeds.
  5. Calculate average speed per tool/mode.

Example Interaction

Select tools (comma separated):
1) wget
2) wget2
3) axel
4) aria2c
Enter choice(s) [e.g. 2,3]:

Select test modes (comma separated):
1) Single connection
2) Multi connection
Enter choice(s) [e.g. 1,2]:

During download, progress bars with speed and estimated remaining time will be displayed. After all tests, a summary table with averages is printed.

Notes

  • wget does not support multi-connection, so multi-mode will be skipped for it.
  • wget2, axel, and aria2c support multi-connection downloads.
  • Speeds are converted to MB/s for summary and average calculations.
  • Temporary log files are used for parsing speeds and removed automatically.

Example Summary Output

URL                                                    TOOL     MODE     SPEED
