Recently, I wanted to run a quick test to see the download speed of a web host. All I wanted was to download a file, any file really, but I wanted something 1gb in size. Moving to the www root, here is what I did:
dd if=/dev/zero of=file_to-create bs=1k count=1000000
This instantly gave me a 1gb file which I was then able to download!
dd if=/dev/zero of=file_to-create bs=1k count=1000000
This instantly gave me a 1gb file which I was then able to download!
