Hi Rick,
Try an anon ftp or http download from http://ftp.heanet.ie The cluster that=
serves for ftp.heanet.ie has multiple machines with at least single or bon=
ded 10GE interfaces into HEAnet's backbone and then minimum of 10GE on two =
carriers to the general internet.
Should give you a pretty good speed test. I can max out our GigE links usin=
g them for testing.
