Put a really cool (I think so anyway) speedtest on my new Joomla site and i thought I'd share it with you.
You can see this at waynespcworld.co.uk/web-design/speedtest
1: Go to www.speedtest.net/mini.php and download the package.
2: Extract the files and upload the speedtest folder to your images/stories folder.
3: Insert the speedtest swf file into your document (make sure that it is also stored in the images/stories folder
4: Hey presto a working speedtest on your Joomla website.
Now the next question is..... Can anyone turn this into a joomla module?

Here you are
You can download it here . I can't attach the file because the size is too big.
Also, I resized all the images there. You still can download the original (~100mb) images from www.speedtest.net/mini.php and replace the images at : /module/mod_speedtest/speedtest/ folder
Disclaimer: This is not official RocketTheme extension. I just created that for fun
Let me know if you have any issue.

Wowsers scooby, thats great!
Now then, are you showing off with your upload speed
How long did it take you? Can you recomend a good tutorial for making modules as i have some ajax domain search script which i would like to convert to a joomla module.
Thanks so much!

Yeah, I've been using that site and utility for years! It's pretty good and find it pretty consistent with other methods/sites. They have really added a lot of testing locations in the last year and find it pretty reliable. I also use the pingtest they offer!
