Curl: Re: Newbie bytes/sec question

That´s what I figured. I am little bummed out because of this. My plan was basically to do the following:

1. Download a page like CNN.com

2. Parse it and download all frame documents and images.

3. While doing this I wanted to save the page to disk such that I could periodically check that what had been downloaded was complete.

During all the downloads I wanted to collect speed data that I am getting per download and record that into a database for benchmarking purposes

in our GPRS system.

Looks like I just have to skip the writing to disk data and just stick with downloading stuff and just blowing it away.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do benchmarking like the one I am intending.

SPEED_DOWNLOAD is the amount of bytes downloaded / total time its taken.

Nope. Everything will be taken into account. If you have a slow callback,
that might delay the download, yes.
