PSclient ext speedtest

Hi again.  I've created a simple speedtest PS1 script for use as a PSclient ext test for one of our clients.  The results are inaccurate though because apparently when the script runs headless it's super fast, but running it manually via a PS Console runs slower and a gives more accurate results.  This isn't really a Xymon question, but since there's a lot of smart folks who read this I figured I'd ask.  Anyone have an accurate PS speedtest that I can run in my script?

Attached is my script.

You're only requesting the 10 meg file.  Did you try a larger one?

I tried a 100Meg file and it produced the exact same output discrepancies.

Attached is the revised speedtest.ps1 that's pulling from Speedtest.net
This seems to work well.  The output could use a little tweeking, but it 
works.
