I'm the author of the project. The servers are simply overloaded af unfortunately. It's a fairly popular project and we don't have enough servers to support this many concurrent users.

Thank you for the project. Maybe you can have an indicator saying

  • Server load level = 4/5 Measured speed might not be indicative of true speed
  • Server load level = 2/5 Measured speed is close to true speed

This could set an expectation for the users of the side

Good idea, I'll add it to the to-do list for the next major release.

Hello there, I didn't expect you to popup.

Would it be possible to get more companies to sponsor it? It seems like it is free advertising especially for ISPs (as long as they don't favor IPs)

Occasionally some cloud providers or ISPs chime in and offer their servers to the public. If you have an LS server, you can submit it here: https://librespeed.org/submit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
