speedtest-cli: Run a speed test without performing download tests.
$ speedtest-cli --no-download
try on your machine

The command "speedtest-cli --no-download" is a command-line command used to run a speed test on an internet connection, specifically excluding the download speed measurement.

Here's a breakdown of the command structure:

  • "speedtest-cli" is the name of the command-line tool being used. It is a popular command-line interface for conducting network speed tests.
  • "--no-download" is an option or flag that is appended to the command. In this case, it tells the speedtest-cli tool not to measure or display the download speed during the speed test.

By running this command, the tool will perform a speed test measurement on the internet connection, but it will only provide information about the upload speed and other metrics, excluding the download speed measurement.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
