Does anyone know of a good way to compare the speed of website hosts
that does not involve pinging? I'm particularly interested in comparing
the speeds of:
www.bldesign.org (currently hosted by atlnetworks.com)
www.scibrick.org (hosted by atlnetworks.com)
www.jhkruer.com  (hosted by icdsoft.com)

Find decently-large files on each site and compare their download speeds.
For me both at BU and on my DSL connection at home, the first two are
blazingly fast and the third is pretty slow. The fast ones I get at over a
megabyte a second (several times T1 speed!), and jhkruer.com at 50-75K.

Hmm, in that case maybe it's not worth saving $10/year to change hosts...
