Question Hello,
I have a question, how do i measure the bandwidth (i`m not sure if this is the right term) as if download rate, upload rate or kbps transfer rate.
Can i do my windows application of my own to calculate this? transfer rate..?
e.g.: i want to measure whats the kbps transfer rate if i download or upload file form a server. How do I program this?
Answer If you are using a way which returns to you the bytes received then you can ofcourse time using either a timer control or a control's own data received event and then calculate the time, then simply divide the data you have received divied by time it took to get the transfer rate.
