I keep googling, but no luck. I'm looking for a webpage that will tell me what my internet bandwidth is for no charge whatsoever, with no software to download except Flash or some other common software (every "free" test I find makes me download their programs). I know something like this exists because I've had been to one before; I just can't remember the webpage. Does anyone know?
free internet speed check.

This website says that my lowest internet bandwidth is 164 kb/s. In that case, why is it when I close all internet browsers, this video file I'm downloading is only going at 9.0-9.25 kb/s?

The reason you divide by 8 is because your speed is rated in kilobits, not kilobytes. 8 bits equal 1 byte.
The reason you're only getting half your speed can be caused by many things.. If DSL another user, TCP may not be optimized, etc.

Transmission Control Protocol. The protocol most computers use to connect to the internet (TCP/IP).. Along with DHCP and a mess of other acronyms.
