I not tried conan's script yet but i think it displays only results rather then give you a image link, still i dont know about conan's speedtest script but here it is not from me it is from speedtest.net.

i think both are same btw thanks for sharing speedtest image tutorial

I identified the difference, conan make a script to run speedtest as command and here it is python script to retrieve a speedtest image and results, it doesn't make a command like conan's script does. Btw welcome

Really good tuts for beginners.... But, it's easier to install iceweasel and flash plugin and directly get it from the speedtest.net site.
