I'd like to create a connection speed test such that the script initiates a download of a file from the server to the client, and then the client uploads the file back to server.
I am not certain how to do this using Javascript. Can I have some help on this, please?
I'm fairly new to javascript myself so this could be a stupid remark, but isn't javascript Client-side scripting? Aren't there better languages for handling these sort of this? Like php or perl?
And how other way would you like to display client speed if not using client-side scripting? Most of - if not all - speed tests use client-side flash scripts.

I don't know, was just thinking out loud. Like I said I'm pretty new to the whole thing.
I was thinking something in the lines of: letting, for example, php handle the down- and upload. Use Javascript/css for the display of the data. Wouldn't this keep server scripting and client scripting seperated? Which could be more practical depending of the size, duration, ... of the project.
If you let PHP handle download/upload then you will not be able to determine user connection speed because PHp will be executed on server and it'll be server speed not user if that makes sense to you
