Dipstick

The curiously named Dipstick is a simple but effective program that you might not realise you even need. When a particular Website become popular, it is often duplicated in a number of 'mirror' sites. The only problem is, how do you know which mirror site is the most convenient and efficient for your needs? Well most of the time you tend to pick either the first or last mirror site in the list and hope for the best. Dipstick does this a little more scientific in that it allows you to check the connection speed to any site. You can then select the best site from the list. As well as faster and more efficient downloads, dipstick will also help you cut your phone bills.
