Unfortunately that's some Windows thing and hence useless.

Just download, set to executable, and run (with WinE) - no problem.

Quote from: purleigh @foxy - I've used GRC DNS benchmark many times on Linux using 'WinE'.
Just download, set to executable, and run (with WinE) - no problem.
I don't have WinE loaded as it's a rather huge - even before I try to run a typical mammoth Windows program.
If I absolutely need to run Windows, I can use a dual boot netbook with a minimal Windows partition on it.
I use Dropbox to sync files between the Desktop and Windows.
Obviously, Dropbox is treated as a totally insecure transport method!

It does appear to be on telehouse gateways, so PTW, PTE, PTN & PTW unfortunately we can't split the samknows data this way, so the data averages out the whole network.
We've raised a problem(Ref:77297) and our networks team will look into this.
