Because you want to monitor the download speed of the network through the script, if you use wget, download the file will show the average download speed, but if the network is slow, download a few m files may take a few minutes, so that the download speed can not be determined at the minute interval monitoring.
Is there a way to set the download time to 30 seconds, timeout to stop downloading and feedback download speed?
or limit the download capacity, exceeding the capacity even if the file is not finished downloading also aborted, feedback download speed.
Because you want to run in a script, you cannot stop wget run and view download speed by command entry abort command
Use the timeout command to run wget, set to exit after 30 seconds, and then view the download file size, divided by 30, to get the download speed per second.
