Transfer size based speed test

[yannart]

Hi,

For my use case, I need to do upload and download speed tests based on a transfer size (a.k.a test with a specific number of bytes to be uploaded and downloaded). However, it seems that all the tests are duration-based instead.

For download, if there was a way to restrict the test to a specific number of chunks that should do the job. For example: librespeed-cl --no-upload --chunks 1 However, with the current implementation, the test continues until the duration is exceeded.

For upload, the issue is similar, the tests continue for the specified duration regardless of the upload-size. For example: librespeed-cli --no-download --upload-size 1024

Is there a way today to have the chunks and upload-size parameters taking preference over the duration to achieve transfer size-based speed tests? If not is that something you have planned to do or would accept contributions for?

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, been too busy IRL.

I don't have much time to figure out the best way to implement this atm, it would be great if you can submit a PR.

Thanks!
