[SOLVED] speedtest-cli not working

speedtest-cli (0.3.1-1) stopped working for me today producing an error.

COMMAND:~$ speedtest
Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...
Retrieving speedtest.net server list...
Failed to parse list of speedtest.net servers

Searching revealed this comment with the following solution.

Open speedtest_cli.py (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages) and change line 345 from...

    uh = urlopen('http://www.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers-static.php')

...to

    uh = urlopen('http://c.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers-static.php')

Re: [SOLVED] speedtest-cli not working

Not a clue how you figured that out but thank you a million and one times.

Mine has been out of action for a few days, but I also had ISP problems so I thought it was related.

Thanks for this AL13N

Which operating system are you using?

Sounds like this should be reported to the package maintainer.

FWIW, version 0.3.4p0 works fine in OpenBSD 5.9-beta

The comment I linked to is from a closed issue thread on GitHub.  The issue was fixed in version 0.3.2.
