Iperf 3.18 Windows build

[userdocs]

Just to clarify, you used the artifacts at the bottom of this link? https://github.com/userdocs/iperf3-static/actions/runs/11298286562 and not the current release asset?

[aflurko]

This explains everything, I was confused by the same compile date. Now I downloaded the artifacts from your link and it works correctly, my mistake

So the idea is to be able to run a workflow manually and pass if the repo and branch to get a builds as artifacts, not to interfere with the main releases. 

Because the repo builds both Linux and Windows builds, it can do it for both. Getting custom builds on demand. So the Linux and Windows builds were made using the custom repo and branch and uploaded as artifacts to those runs.

Even though it was mostly automated, I noticed some issues so I've updated the repo over the weekend to modernise it.

It now uses github attestations and virustotal in the build process to provide transparent build provenance from source, verified as it's built.

Linux has multiarch dockers available for releases via ghcr.io.

The way it's designed, anyone can fork the repo and use the workflows for themselves.

As it stands, it think this is probably the most complete and accessible method to get iperf3 static binaries.

Hello,

 

It appears that the download site listed on the iperf.fr site for windows binaries is down:

 

https://files.budman.pw/

 

 

Is there an alternate source for the windows binaries? I'm not who to reach out to regarding that specific site.

Edit: I actually found the link in the thread to the direct download: https://files.budman.pw/iperf3.17.1_64.zip

I can grab it there, but the main index is broken.

Thanks,

Found the link in the main thread

hmmm - yeah, something not right there, let me take a look.. Thanks for letting me know

edit: Ok its working again, maybe my host updated some php or something.. it was a bit behind anyway, updated and now its working again

edit2: since I was checking the site anyway, noticed that updated version of cygwin available 3.5.4 vs 3.5.3 so updated the iperf build with it

I have moved up to 5gbps, but sadly the usb port on my nas isn't really up to the task, but am seeing about close to a gig more per second than what the 2.5 usb interface could do

Greetings.  Is the site up?  I am currently unable to download or access any of the listed links.  Please advise, thanks!

[Mindovermaster Global Moderator]

Works fine for me. Must be a firewall issue on your side.

[+BudMan MVC]

when did you try exactly - I show it was down for a few minutes yesterday

 

Monitor name
files.budman.pw

Checked URL
http://files.budman.pw

Root cause
Connection Timeout

Incident started at
2025-03-04 03:06:26

Resolved at
2025-03-04 03:11:29

Duration
5 minutes and 3 seconds

It does go down for a few minutes now and then.. but you can see from history it is up.. Not sure if actual site going down, or monitoring problem?

I do currently show it up and can access files.

 

[TechDude3000]

Issue happens every time I try to access the site. Initially the page will load, but any subsequent link selected or download attempt will be rejected on the server side - 

files.budman.pw unexpectedly closed the connection.

 

This resets after some time, but same result when I retry.  Firewall not in play.

[+BudMan MVC]

I just downloaded quite a few different files from it..

let me look if I can see anything in the logs.

edit: could you PM me your IP address..  I see some security errors, but not very many..  It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 - so send me both if you use IPv6.. But really the only issues I see is security related..

Example

If you let me know time frame and your IP(s) I can look to see if anything in the server log. I don't see any issues in the access logs, man I was not aware so many people downloaded stuff from here

Another example of some errors

Lots of traffic from China, WTF

 

Odd that number one file is older version 3.16

 

3.18 is number 9, with 9k some downloads. And then 3.11 has some 2k hits in the last 7 days.. That seems odd, I keep the old versions up as archive.. Didn't think people would still be downloading them

edit: I just download multiple files without any issues using both edge and chrome as well my main firefox browser.. I can not find anything wrong on the site - and clearly it is seeing plenty of traffic and downloads.

Looking through the logs.. WTF is chocolaty using this to grab installs from?

[06/Mar/2025:01:25:11 -0800] "GET /iperf3.16_64.zip HTTP/1.1" 200 80982 "-" "chocolatey command line"

But I am not seeing any issues..  But be happy to look through logs for your IP to see if something is off there..

 

 

[TechDude3000]

I appreciate you looking into this.  Its somehow related to my IP address - I connected through VPN and was able to download files immediately.  Not sure why my real IP is being rejected, but problem solved.

[+BudMan MVC]

If you PM me the IP - I can look to the logs to see if there is some rule.. There should be no firewall for example, notice all the china IPs hitting it
