Publisher's Description

From Totusoft:

After installing LAN Speed Test v4, it begins in (Lite) mode. LAN Speed Test (Lite) is fully functional with no time limits, etc. - only some of the more advanced features are disabled. LAN Speed Test was designed from the ground up to be a simple but powerful tool for measuring file transfer, hard drive, USB Drive, and Local Area Network (LAN) speeds (wired & wireless). First, you pick a folder to test to. This folder can be on a local drive or USB drive, etc. to test the drive speed, or a shared folder on your network to test your network speed. Next, LAN Speed Test builds a file in memory, then transfers it both ways (without effects of Windows/Mac file caching) while keeping track of the time, and then does the calculations for you. For more advanced users, you can test to LAN Speed Test Server instead of a shared folder to take the slower hard drives out of the process as you are testing from one computer's RAM to another computer's RAM. Simple concept and easy to use. You'll find that LAN Speed Test will quickly become one of your favorite network tools!

"Inaccurate Results"

adorerai June 27, 2015 / Version: LAN Speed Test 1.1.7

2015-06-27 08:08:29 | By adorerai

Pros

Easy to use.

Cons

I used the latest free Mac version, upload to another computer was about ~56Mbps download was ~750Mbps for a 500MB File. Drag and drop file transfer showed much faster speeds for the upload, more symmetrical.

Summary

Can't really trust the results.

"Simple and Effective - no Malware included"

Yorgi_GTA May 29, 2015 / Version: LAN Speed Test 1.1.7

2015-05-29 01:27:41 | By Yorgi_GTA

Pros

Small footprint
Simple
Does what it says it will do

Cons

Outdated version

Summary

This program is a simple single .exe file that runs standalone from where you save it. You enter a network address to another PC/server on your network, a file size, then it copies a temp file and shows file transfer speed in Mbps.

You can grab a newer version directly from totusoft. This Download.com version did try to change my default search engine to Yahoo but that is not totusoft's fault, the blame is on Download.com.

"Very helpful and easy!"

Tapoutnc October 15, 2012 / Version: LAN Speed Test 1.1.7

2012-10-15 11:35:18 | By Tapoutnc

Pros

Just what I needed to test the throughput between my computers and NAS. File transfers were taking a while and were about 6 Mbps. This too basically let me know that my Gigabit connection between my pc and NAS over a CAT 6 was running slow... Time to check out the topology.

Cons

Instructions for use were not "in your face" step-by-step but I figured it out.

Summary

Good for peer to peet network throughput checking. Definitely not Enterprise class but great for the SMB.

"This software is crippled"

racassel August 04, 2012 / Version: LAN Speed Test 1.1.7

2012-08-04 11:59:18 | By racassel

Pros

They do a good job tricking you into downloading it.

Cons

If you want to see your throughput in MBPS, you have to send them $5.00 . Or get out your calculator

Summary

It's a crippled version, for free! Look for something else. FastCopy will do the same thing and give you the MBPS and it is not CrIpPlEd!

"Simple, quick and easy to use"

Eval_Evaluator April 20, 2012 / Version: LAN Speed Test 1.1.7

2012-04-20 11:56:01 | By Eval_Evaluator

Pros

Simple, quick and easy to use

Cons

With some computers in the network the wireless adaptor's write speed is much faster than it's read speed. It's odd, but according to the author, that's because of the write cache of the HD kicking-in when writing to the target network folder. However writing to the same network folder from another computer with another network adaptor does give opposite results (i.e Write speed is less than the read speed). If the HD cache was the reason for faster writes than reads, why do i get an opposite result accessing the same net folder from a different computer?. That to me tells that it's not really the HD cache causing the discrepencies but something else is wrong with either the software or the network adaptors used to test the LAN speed.

Summary

As it stands, the reliability of the test results are questionable, so use it at your own risk.

"ok for simple tests."

ldecola January 07, 2012 / Version: LAN Speed Test 1.1.7

2012-01-07 16:52:41 | By ldecola

Pros

it will give you a quick, easy to interpret, estimate of your LAN speed.

Cons

too simple if you want detailed reports. i.e. i want to know how fast i'm getting data from my ISP to the router and THEN from the router wirelessly to my laptop. the app doesn't seem to tell me that.

"Great program but beware the other programs it installs"

bigdods October 23, 2011 / Version: LAN Speed Test 1.1.7

2011-10-23 02:45:09 | By bigdods

Pros

I ran this a few times and it works really well

Cons

It secretly installs incredimail, a toolbar and some other programs while its running. I suddenly had icons popping up on my desktop that I didnt want. Then the incredimail installer popped up and no mater what I did it couldnt be closed or stopped.

Took me about half an hgour to remove all the stuff it added to my PC. Doesnt look like virus or trojan as my scanner came up clean, just very very annoying

Summary

Find another tool

What's new in version 4.3.1
Fix: Pressing the 'Cancel' button while LAN Speed Test is looking for LST Server, would cause the helper app to not close and future tests would not complete until either the helper app (Helper1.exe) gets closed manually or the computer is restarted.
