Testing with Test Files
Morpheus Upgrades Previous Topic  Program Info  Next Topic

Note about the server location:

The server is located in Germany. If you are accessing the files from the USA, Asia or another distant location you may get slower overall performance than you would if you were accessing a server closer to you. This does not really matter however, as what you want to see is the difference in performance between different sets of settings. If you want to use a server closer to you use the Own URL option.

Test Procedure:

1. If your computer is not online go online now.  

2. Click on the Get Test URLs button. The URLs will appear in the first three fields below the button.  

3. Choose the small, medium or large file, then click on the Download button. The download needs to take a while to produce meaningful results. Choose a smaller file if you have a slower modem, a larger file if you have a high-speed or broadband connection.  

4. Allow the test to complete and note the results.  

5. Go offline if you want.  

Trying out different settings:

If you want to try different settings you should do this now, so that you can carry out your next test as quickly as possible, before network conditions change too much. Remember to start Windows before you go online again after changing your optimization settings!
