speedometer is a Linux command-line tool that shows the send/receive speed of a network interface or the progress speed of a file download as a graph in the terminal. The -r and -t options specify the receive and transmit directions of the interface to monitor, and it can also measure download speed by watching changes in file size. It is written in Python and can be installed directly as a Debian/Ubuntu package.

Usage

speedometer -r eth0 -t eth0

Install

ubuntu or debian users:

sudo apt-get install speedometer
