what is the best practice to measure a users connection speed (bandwith)?
- do you do it with measuring how long it takes to download a file? (js or as --> php)
- does Flash Media Server measure it automatically?
...no idea about this, first time a come across this issue...
tnx:)

i seem to remember a really slick, lightweight, free flash piece that did this from a while back. maybe on one of the flash code boards you could find it?

I plan on doing this soon actually, so good thread.
Just upgraded my dsl from an embarrassingly slow 768 KBPS (yes, you read that correctly) to a 6 MBPS connection. Just got the hardware, need to install it now.
