Shell script to download dummy data just to hog bandwidth. :P
Raw
Bandwidth_hogger.sh
# simple oneliner. This will download 100GB file and send it to /dev/null. So it's just a Bandwidth hogger.
wget -O- http://speedtest-ny.turnkeyinternet.net/10000mb.bin > /dev/null
# more fun
# this script will download files indefinitely.
# save below line to a new file, give it name bandwidthhogger.sh name
# run below command
# sh ./bandwidthhogger.sh
while :
do
wget -O- http://speedtest-ny.turnkeyinternet.net/10000mb.bin > /dev/null
done
