why multiple images? you could do it with one image; yet, it really
depends on the stability of the host/isp/network, if the exchange
throttles or caches information, etc. Are you averaging from multiple
hosts from different regions of the planet? if so, you may want to
compensate for that too.
How are you tracking your percentages? just based on time to download
the entire file that happens to have a rounded number like 8000Kb =
1000KB = 8Mb= 1MB? or are you breaking it down into little 100ms chunks
and then measuring the amount percentage downloaded per that chunk and
converting up?
you could also stick with just stick one file polled many times ?1 ?2
?3...?1000
sometimes certain networks give preference to jpg vs txt vs mp3 vs....
any more ideas? I only did stuff like this in my spare time back in
2004, so I am no expert.

hi, anyone know any reliable and consistent bandwidth detection methods.
I am doing the download multiple images and average out the kbps but its
vastly inconsistent against speedtest.net and even against itself.
