vivaldi ~ # speedtest Retrieving speedtest.net configuration... Testing from Renater (134.157.15.237)... Retrieving speedtest.net server list... Selecting best server based on ping... ERROR: Unable to connect to servers to test latency. It used to work on all my servers, and now it fails on all servers. I eliminated 'local' network problems (firewall in or near the servers). There are some (but few) people reporting this error since ~oct 2022. Could it be that the speedtest service is not available anymore ? I notice the gentoo package hasn't been updated for long. Could that be the problem ? Reproducible: Always

there's no --verbose option, so i couldn't find the url for 'Retrieving speedtest.net configuration'. In your linked ticket, there's curl and i have the same answer: curl -iL https://www.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers.php -> 429 answer, "Too many requests" Which i dont understand, i haven't tried for months, and almost all servers are standalone (not NAT'ing other computers). I find it hard to believe that all my servers are blacklisted at the same time, they are in different physical location, their ip are completely unrelated.. ? On the ticket there's a link to a patch https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/pull/796/commits/7906c4bdc36b969212526d71e83a2ecea5739704 where they replace the url by : https://www.speedtest.net/api/js/servers I can confirm this one works. I can't understand from the ticket if this commit was merged, if so when / which release. It doesn't seem to be in 'mainline' file: https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/blob/master/speedtest.py
No it's not merged-- but we can add it in ::gentoo if needed. I'm assigning this to the gentoo maintainer, let's see what he says.
For that matters, net-analyzer/speedtest++ doesn't work either. The error seems similar: Finding fastest server... Unable to download server list. Try again later Am I the only one using speedtest on servers .. ?? Or the only where it fails ?
This does not seem a general problem, as it works for me just fine. I am not able to reproduce in any way. $ speedtest Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...

Download: 702.04 Mbit/s Testing upload speed...................................................................................................... Upload: 643.07 Mbit/s I am not sure about the patch. It does not apply against 2.1.3. Did you had modified the patch?
I did not try the patch, just noticed the part that changes the url being requested for the list of servers. As said, i have the problem from a whole bunch of different servers, i highly doubt all of them have been "banned" at the same time. I barely use speedtest (no cron or whatever) What about the url i gave that reports "429 / too many requests". Does this work for you ? curl -iL https://www.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers.php

Created attachment 861086 [details] rebased patch This rebased patch works for me but we may be better off taking a snapshot and using the existing PR patch as-is.

Does this > work for you ? > > curl -iL https://www.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers.php Yes, works absolutly fine for me. --------- Anyway, I tested the patch now on multiple machines, seems fine for me. I will add this one. But I would still recommend, that you talk to Ookla. This still looks for me, like they have some outdated? rules and block some ip ranges they should not.
