Connection Speed

[phreak]

Anyone have any idea how you could detect the connection speed of someone viewing your site?

AND calculate the estimated time for a download of a certain file. I thought about trying to ping the ip of the connection and do some math, but that's not a correct way to configure bandwidth. Anyone have any ideas about how to accomplish this?

you can do it with javascript, simply make this file into whatever.html, then put a large image in an images folder, so you can pull off that image and there ya go

Hey... I think that worked. Can't really test it completely right now, but it looks as though it works. Thanks!
