Glasnost: Test if your ISP is shaping your traffic

My results for Flash:<p>Your ISP appears to rate limit your FlashVideo downloads. In our tests, downloads using control flows achieved up to 6723 Kbps while downloads using FlashVideo achieved up to 9345 Kbps.<p>Your ISP appears to rate limit downloads on port 8080. In our tests, downloads on port 8080 achieved up to 9487 Kbps while downloads on port 42507 achieved up to 6723 Kbps.<p>Maybe I'm misunderstanding the tests, but if my flash downloads where being rate limited the control would be faster, not slower?<p>In case anyone's interested, I'm in the UK, my ISP is Virgin - it's a 10mbit cable line.

Is it supposed to keep alternating between "Time to finish: 500 seconds" and "Waiting for transfer to finish"?

Requires Java, for those on mobile.

You can also create your own tests for Glasnost.<p>Instructions here:<p><a href="http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/createtest.html" rel="nofollow">http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/createtest.html</a>

Pretty damn impressive, IMHO.
