iperf is a tool for testing network transfer speeds. From its sourceforge page:

'Iperf was developed by NLANR/DAST as a modern alternative for measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth performance. Iperf allows the tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics. Iperf reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss.'

Quick start:

iperf -s on server
iperf -c hostname (or ip of server) on client. Use -f to change the format.

I have been having problems with Spotify under wine on Ubuntu 10.10. A bit of googling revealed that Spotify now have a preview of a native client for Linux!

Just installed it and it seems to be working well.

The Good:

Nice interface, like the lane highlighting, nice keyboard entry, quick routing and liked the settings on speed camera and speeding warnings.

The Bad:

Volume to low (fix on the way possibly), speed camera seems abit iffy (it kept telling me that the speed camera ahead was for 30 MPH on the M25 or at least i think that's what it was saying- I was busy driving carefully to do a proper check).

Overall I am happy I bought it-not a bad price at 60 Euros. When they fix the volume bug and I work out what is going on with the speed cameras it will be even better!

I had major problems with a SBS 2003 setup and the above all helped.

The best linux blogging client that I have found (just now) is called bilbo blogilo (they recently had to change their name).

I followed the Linux instructions and installed it fine on Karmic 9.10 x64.

Lifehacker also recommended ProcessHacker this week. I tried it and recommend it too.

Have you ever wanted to see what program is sucking up your bandwidth? Have you ever wanted to apply limits to how much bandwidth programs can use (like torrent apps)?

Then Netlimiter might be your solution.
