This example takes about 6 seconds to get all the uploads running as they are staged, and then each upload takes a while to get to full speed because that is a function of the senders TCP stack. So the smoothed total transfer rate lags as well, and the whole thing doesn't start to bloat out until we get to max speed. There is an upload duration preference that can increase the total time upload or download takes but people already have no patience and close the tab when they start seeing decent upload numbers, so increasing it just makes the quit rate higher still. For the quitters we get no results at all, other than they quit before the end of the test. thanks On Sun, Oct 23, 2016 at 10:52 AM, Jonathan Morton wrote: > > > On 23 Oct, 2016, at 00:56, Dave Taht wrote: > > > > http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/5408767 > > Looks like that’s how long it takes for the throughput to ramp up to link > capacity.
