Old-school broadband speed tests with images to download?

Now that I've finally got a reasonably fast fiber-optic connection, I'd like to do some of those old-school internet speed tests that would track the time it takes to download different images. I remember one of the images -- the biggest one, I think -- was a fighter jet.

Does anybody have a link for one of these test sites, assuming they're still operating?

I know where to find standard speed tests like Ookla. I'm interested in this older style test, just for fun.

Thanks.

nasa has some pretty large images - or download a linux distro at 4gb+

Thanks, Taras. Those are. both good ideas and could indeed be used to test download times. I had been thinking of a speedtest site that would let you watch the image be realized on the screen, then report the download time.

Depending on where you’re pulling your image / distros etc. you will then start to shine a light on other parts of the internet that can reveal sometimes surprising or unforeseen slowdowns.

Having a fat pipe in the last mile helps a lot though. Enjoy.

These files were built by us to be precompressed etc so should measure speed well
