Are you wanting to test the bandwidth of clients accessing your web site(s)?

If so, what I have done in the past is generate a ~100-500k graphic in ImageMagick/Photoshop/GIMP/etc with lots of added colored noise (so it cannot be compressed well). You can either use JavaScript or PHP to track the timestamps of when the graphic is first requested and when it is downloaded. So long as you load the image inside a non-visible tag, the client won't see it...

Not saying this is the best way, but its the easiest and it has worked for me.

Cheers,
James
