We're looking to measure the download speed/bandwidth available to a probe at a given interval. Something like a speedtest.net test, I don't think PRTG has anything like that but we wanted to check. Anyone else out there that wants to/is able to do this sort of test with PRTG.

this is actually already possible, with a little workaround

please read

http://www.paessler.com/blog/2009/02/13/network-monitoring-basics/monitoring-the-available-bandwidth-part-2

what you can do now is to create a HTTP Advanced sensor on the remote probe and use as URL

the download URL for the remote probe installation file. (pass-hash would be needed in the URL)

In that way you would download the remote probe installation file from the core server to the remote probe and you could measure speed between them.
