It would be great if you added the option to choose the interface (or IP) the test should run on. This is useful when you have a host with multiple interfaces (e.g. one wifi and one wired) and you want to test speed on a specific interface.

This is lest important, but recently fast.com started giving upload speed as well, so it would be great to either make that the default or give the option to the user to choose if they want the upload speed as well.

Using fast_darwin_386:

./fast
-bash: ./fast: Bad CPU type in executable

Looks like you are reading/writing to the status variable concurrently from two different goroutines

You can use the race detector to help:
https://golang.org/doc/articles/race_detector.html#Introduction

./fast --silent still outputs the connecting and spinning indicator.
and the 0k -m -g option also dont change the output.

this is for the linux version am64 running in Ubuntu 23

Performing a test via command line with the 64bit client I get speeds a lot slower than the website reports.

For example the last 3 command line tests gave results of:
188.97Mbps
170.52Mbps
178.37Mbps

Testing on the website straight after each test above I got:
280Mbps
290Mbps
290Mbps

Is there an issue with fast? I'm seeing errors from various clients.

# Ubuntu 16.04
$ fast
 internet error. please try again

# macOS
⇒  fast
 internet error. please try again

I'm assuming what you are showing now is only down-speed.

It would be great if you added the option to output bare number. It will be very useful in some automation cases :)

Currently the snap of fast is only built for amd64. This package could be built and released automatically with https://build.snapcraft.io/. This would have benefit of producing builds for s390x, ppc64el, arm64, armhf, amd64, and i386 automatically on every commit to master. I was able to test this and it built successfully for all architectures.

This snap is very useful in a headless environment which is more common on non-amd64 architectures (I want to run this on my raspberry pi :D).

For this to work, the snap directory would have to be moved to the root of repo so it could be found and the source in the snapcraft.yaml would have to be changed to . instead of ../../. I could create a pr for these changes if you would like.

It is possible to have some more options (in addition to download speed) like:

• Ping
• Upload speed

And maybe a "simple output" option removing the spinner?
I'm trying to save the results on a .log file but this is what I get:

Internet error. Please try again later

I have internet connection i can connect to internet but fast can't connect it was working before but not now.

Seems like it should not be dividing by 1000 to convert K to M, etc. These should be using powers of 2 (1024 divisor), no? Perhaps use bit shifts, ie Mbps = Kbps >> 10, etc

the initial Kbps value however is also wrong, it will need the go-fast library to use powers of 2 also, it has the same issue

I have different interfaces mapped to different gateways - is there some way to run the test on a non-default gateway?

The README says brew support is coming soon, however this repo was last updated 2 years ago. Any chance we could get this moved over? :)
