Download Test Files

These files are provided to help users test their download speeds from our servers. You can also run a speed test however downloading files can be easier to compare with real usage or where Java / Flash is unavailable.

Please be aware that downloading these files may count towards your data cap imposed by your ISP and the large files may use up a large proportion of this if you only have a small data cap (1GB - 3GB for example). We suggest only testing the large files if you have a connection speed faster than 10 Mbps and a large data cap.

Instructions
Click the coloured label of the file you want to download to start the download process. If the download does not start you may have to right click on the size and select "Save Target As" (see here for an example).

These files will automatically use download using IPv4.
