ARGUS 145
PLUS
If an alias www address is entered as the "Source/Destination" address, the
ARGUS will "only" download the one HTML page during the HTML download
test. The ARGUS does not evaluate the HTML code, so any link to a “true” www
address will be ignored. In this case, the ARGUS will not display an error
message since the “Source/Destination” address specified will have been loaded
without error.
However, since it is not possible to accurately determine the transmission speed
if the duration of the download test is less than 10 seconds, you should download
a reasonably large file (taking into consideration the access speed).
When entering the “Source” address (server address and download filename)
make certain that you use the correct notation (upper and lower case), otherwise
the ARGUS will report an Error 301 (Moved Permanently) or Error 404 (Not
Found).
If the ARGUS requests multiple downloads, it will reduce the number of
downloads requested to suit the number of downloads supported by the server.
This may result in a deviation from the parameters set. This can be the case e.g.
if the size of the requested file is unknown.

Number of
downloads
This sets how often the ARGUS will retrieve the data (download
file) from the “source” address in the download test. In the case of
the Upload Test: This sets how often the ARGUS will send the data
of the file to the destination. "Zero“ means continuously. In which
case, the test must be terminated manually. Range: 1 to 9999
Default:
3
