Can webpagetest.org test the download of an EXE file?

Hi,

I try to use your https://www.webpagetest.org/ to test the download speed of an EXE file at https://download.datanumen.com/dexr.exe . The EXE file size is 12MB, but it seems that you will only download 1,152 KB data, according to the test results.

Is there a way to download the whole file and test the download speed accurately?

Thanks

Alan

No, WebPageTest doesn’t allow for downloads and cancels them. In most cases, the download will be limited by the WebPageTest traffic-shaping anyway and will download at whatever bitrate you configure the connection for. If you’re trying to test server-throttled downloads then WebPageTest probably isn’t the right tool.
