Downloading Tests

[Nemoder]

Is there any way to install tests from a local file instead of downloading them? I've got installers for most of the game tests already, it seems a total waste to have to download them all again for the benchmark to work.

Throw them into ~/.phoronix-test-suite/download-cache/ and it should automatically use them if their MD5 sum is verified and they are named the same.

works great! thank you :)

Fantastic :)

Is it possible to download tests with wget so that larger downloads can be restarted?

[Michael]

follyfarmer: wget is being used right now. At first it downloads to /tmp/phoronix-test-suite/

Ok thanks Michael, does that mean that I can resume an aborted install of a test suite by simply installing it again?

Not at present, as PTS isn't configured to use the resume functionality of wget
