Hey Everyone!

Ive created a tool to help people run diagnostics on their internet. Basically, it runs an International and Local Speedtest as well as an International and Local tracert.

I have also created a "Is it my Line?" Tool, which pings the last hop on Telkom's network in order to see whether there is an exchange/line fault or an ISP issue. Please find that tool HERE

I am very strict with regards to malware, and will never distribute something that potentially has any form of harmful file attached to it.

Please note that I will no longer be updating this tool.

DOWNLOADS:

Download ZIP: [url]https://zertop.com/releases/diagtool/diagtool.zip[/URL]


CHANGELOG:

1. 20-11-2013:
- Local download now HTTP instead of FTP.
- Left Results.txt in directory
- When starting, delete Results.txt instead of every single txt file in directory

2. 21-11-2013
- User selects test size

3. 22-11-2013
- Reset Local Servers.
- Open Results.txt when finished

4. 04-12-2013
- Added Timestamp

5. 13-12-2013
- Local download links expired, linked to different files

6. 28-12-2013
- Some ISP's point google.co.za to international location - changed to afrihost.co.za

7. 03-01-2014
- Okay, so its a new year - and therefore we have a new release :D
- Added a speedtest.net test
- Added python to run speedtest. Read more about python here: http://python.org/
- Used the speedtest.net script found here: https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli. All credits to to them :) Oh, and thanks to @blunt for making me aware of that script :D

8. 04-03-2014
- Removed Python and speedtest.net (No point really)
- Fixed current files
- Program now shows progress on screen (slightly messy, but will fix it some other time :))

9. 27-03-2014
- Added new LineTool (See link above), which basically pings a specific IP for 30 counts. This IP will usually be the second hop on the tracert, so to see whether there are any lines issues over a prolonged period of time.
- Changed DiagnosticsTool file links, as the old ones are about to expire.

10. 28-03-2014

Okay haha - ive updated it. You can redownload if you want :P
 
Your delete statement is maybe a bit too global. If someone has other txt files in the same directory, they will all be gone. I see you do a change directory, but it seems like it still deletes files in the directory where you run the .bat file from.

my connection at home :D
 
Awesome tool - thanks. Only issue I found was that it took 13MB for the speedtests. Would this not pose a problem if your account has serious issues and you're down t a few KB/s?

Good point! Ill have to add an option for the speedtest size in future versions. However, this messes up the point of it being easy to use :/

Most novices wouldn't even know to run the bat file to begin with. Think of your audience in that sense. They'd in all likelihood not have much of a hassle selecting a test size...
