Hi,
Thank you for using this script😊

I've tested myself using Fedora 37 with aarch64 architecture. And it seems working fine.
Can you please check once again and give me a screenshot

[teohhanhui]

Mm... Actually it's because I'm on Fedora 38 😅

Looks like the same file for prerelease versions can be found under development instead of releases.

[fardinkamal62]

Thanks for clarifying!
I've fixed the issue and will push with some other changes

I think there's still something wrong, but I'm not familiar with Python format strings, so... Here's the output I get:

http://ftp.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/pub/linux/fedora-projects/fedora/linux [==============================] 0.632 Kbps

Those speeds are impossibly low, and combined with the fact that they complete incredibly fast, I don't think it's downloading the efiboot.img file itself...

[teohhanhui]

Oh, also I've noticed Content-Length header is in bytes, and your unit is Kbps, so it should be divided by (1000 / 8)

But usually other tools (such as dnf) show the speed in KiB/s, so just no. of bytes divided by 1024

Here's my dnf output for comparison:

which looks clearer.

(Of course this is unrelated to the problem of the speedtest not actually measuring anything useful...)

[fardinkamal62]

Correct me, you've converted Kbps to KiB/s
That's what you're trying to say?
