DownTester is a utility developed to help users determine the download speed of files from various sources around the world. The application will check link after link from various destinations and will provide data related to download speed. It’s a great tool that will help users in determining the speed of their internet connection when it tries to download files from another side of the world. Because it can run tests on various sources, users do not have to manually control the application for automated testing.

The interface of the application is very basic. Users just load the application with websites from different countries. The application will then test the download speed of each site for 20 seconds before transferring to another website. After testing all sites entered by users, the application creates a report that could be exported in various document formats.

The application can be fully customized depending on the user’s preferences. Users can specify the time allowed in testing each speed (more or less than 20 seconds) and the application can also be prompted to transfer to another site automatically if the desired speed has been reached.

The only downside of the application is that users still have to search for sites that should be tested with the application. Searching for websites hosted in different countries could be relatively difficult which means it will require more time before the application can be used.

But aside from this limitation, the application is a very useful utility. The application is also lightweight and can execute the testing process without lagging other processes in the gadget.
