Best way I know how to do that is to hang a network traffic analysis tool on your home router. How do you plan to connect you home sysytem to your DSL modem? Straight connection via CAT 5 cable or are you going to go DSL modem to wireless router? I would recommend getting a wireless router (Linksys makes excellent ones and are suppored by Cisco and come with some good tools).

I’ll poke around on my wireless router tonight and get back to you on any tools I find regariding traffic speeds.

I was hoping by now you would have posted the tools you said you were going to post :) The tool I have been using recently is Speed Test Pro and it has worked great for me as it monitors my maximum Internet speed on a regular basis automatically. However I want to start using my own website as the place to download files from and I cannot figure out how to do it. I have placed the code in one of my pages but it cannot seen to find it. Has anyone used this Speed Test before? Does anyone know how to set it up correctly on a website? My websites server is very close to where I live so I think it would give me the most accurate results.
