IggyNetSpeed

IggyNetSpeed is a networking utility that gives you the possibility to test the transfer speed of your local network. This is done by creating dummy files to copy to your LAN, in order to find out the event time and transfer rate.
Because they are dummy files, these items are not actually created on the hard disk, so you don't have to worry about occupying space with large and unnecessary data.

Straightforward GUI and options

The whole setup procedure takes little time and needs minimal user intervention. As for the interface, IggyNetSpeed is packed in a small frame with an easy-to-follow structure. Previous experience with networking software is not necessary, so you can easily figure out this tool even if you're an inexperienced user.

Set dummy file size to test LAN speed

The dummy file's size can be selected within a range from 10MB to 100MB. It's quickly created with one click, after which you can check the speed of your local network by entering its share path.
This process shouldn't take a long time, and results reveal the time of the event, along with the network transfer rate. It should give you an idea of the performance of your LAN when preparing for a large task that involves uploading or downloading real files from a remote computer to the local host.

Evaluation and conclusion

The software program created dummy files swiftly throughout our tests, without showing error dialogs, crashing or freezing. It was light on CPU and RAM usage. On the other hand, IggyNetSpeed hasn't received updates for a long while and it's not compatible with newer OS Windows.
To conclude, this application comes bundled with approachable settings to help you verify your local network's transfer rate with the help of small or large dummy files.
