[Bug-wget] Benchmarking

[Schaible, Marcel]

Hi,


I am wondering if wget is capable of being used as a benchmark tool for web 
servers.


I just come back from a programming course for beginners and we have setup for 
the  attendees a small webserver (nginx) as download hub for some installation 
packages. The server was dead slow and practically unusable. For the next 
course I want to test this upfront.


So I am looking for some wget options to start a couple of concurrecnt 
connections to my server and download files, preferable a set of different 
files.


Can this be done with wget.


Thanks


Marcel
