How to totally consume bandwidth?

Consume a maximum of bandwidth?

  • What Internet pages I can visit to make consume a maximum of bandwidth to my INTERNET access provider? Whatever is the domain of activity concerned (weather report, finance, anything...), it has no importance. Something that we can let turn several days (not like speed test page). Something funnier than the download of a file.

  • Answer:

    If you want to test your bandwidth, mirror something like the debian archive. If you want to test lots of small pages, then use (or write your own) web spider that just fetches web page after webpage. Run multiple copies until you use up your bandwidth.

Running a Bittorrent seed for a popular (and legal, of course) file can exhaust any and all available bandwidth.. but why do you want to consume bandwidth in the first place?
