-h, --help            show this help message and exit
--no-download         Do not perform download test
--no-upload           Do not perform upload test
--single              Only use a single connection instead of multiple. This
                        simulates a typical file transfer.
--bytes               Display values in bytes instead of bits. Does not
                        affect the image generated by --share, nor output from
                        --json or --csv
--share               Generate and provide a URL to the speedtest.net share
                        results image, not displayed with --csv
--simple              Suppress verbose output, only show basic information
--csv                 Suppress verbose output, only show basic information
                        in CSV format. Speeds listed in bit/s and not affected
                        by --bytes
--csv-delimiter CSV_DELIMITER
                        Single character delimiter to use in CSV output.
                        Default ","
--csv-header          Print CSV headers
--json                Suppress verbose output, only show basic information
                        in JSON format. Speeds listed in bit/s and not
                        affected by --bytes
--list                Display a list of speedtest.net servers sorted by
                        distance
--server SERVER       Specify a server ID to test against. Can be supplied
                        multiple times
--exclude EXCLUDE     Exclude a server from selection. Can be supplied
                        multiple times
--mini MINI           URL of the Speedtest Mini server
--source SOURCE       Source IP address to bind to
--timeout TIMEOUT     HTTP timeout in seconds. Default 10
--secure              Use HTTPS instead of HTTP when communicating with
                        speedtest.net operated servers
--no-pre-allocate     Do not pre allocate upload data. Pre allocation is
                        enabled by default to improve upload performance. To
                        support systems with insufficient memory, use this
                        option to avoid a MemoryError
--version             Show the version number and exit
