Using PHP, I would like to download 50mb of a 1gb movie file to check if the upload speed of server hosting the movie goes to at least 100kB/s in that exact moment.
Is that possible?

is not clear if you want to check a download speed, if you want to limit a download or if you just want to download a movie :/ – Gianpaolo Di Nino Sep 30 '11 at 20:36

Use curl_setopt with the CURLOPT_RANGE option.

I`m not sure about how to use it for what I need. Could you share an example? – Treat Sep 30 '11 at 20:47

It is completely up to the server to decide whether to respect the range request, i.e., not reliable. I would suggest using fsockopen() and stream the content until n bytes were received. – John Cartwright Sep 30 '11 at 21:19

Use `microtime` to figure out the start and end times, subtract the end from the start to get the number of seconds, figure out how many bytes per seconds you wound up with. – ceejayoz Sep 30 '11 at 21:41
