Typically you cant copy and paste your results so you should take a screenshot to save. Hope this helps...

i am using that problam and it says connection established but i don't see anything and it doesn't ask me for any password and username

What I did which was a little haxie i didn't even realize.

With VNC

What you do in utorrent click on help and then Utorrent home page or something like that
and it opens an iceweasal or firefox window with the utorrent homepage. Enter speedtest.net and go from there

:D yay haxie's

There is another thread at T-I similar in nature to this one:
How to get speedtest for seedbox?

I also posted at the above thread the following link:

.

The next best thing is to just take a screenie of your seedbox with a bunch of torrents going.
Of course it wont be "the max" but it's fine for just proving you have a seedbox on here.

Thanks for tuts

this tut might help me

The best way is to actually just run torrents, and see your download and upload speed yourself
I find speedtests to be unreliable sometimes, although I have never done it from a seedbox, from my PC, I have a 20MBps connection, and speedtests usually show 10MBps, but if I try it in the morning when the server is less busy, it shows full speed
