If you want to test your download, best thing is to actually download and not try to benchmark by speed test sites. Try grabbing some large files off of microsoft, or ati's site, or if you have the ability, get some newsgroup action in there.

Pick a random driver from here, should be about 30MB or so for test purposes - can delete once you've done if you don't actually require it ;)

Also for reference, here is a sustained download I managed to acquire
