Java Based BB Speed Test

Could you elaborate about which aspect takes a long time and what length of time we're talking about. The test itself does need to take a little bit longer than most in order to give a more accurate reading of speed, which can be hampered if you have a firewall enabled (tried the port 80 option?).
 
Having selected the Java test, it takes 1.5 to 2 minutes before the test starts to run. I tend to use the non Java test because of this. It also says save your test results, but where does it save them?

1-2mins dam thats slow, mine takes seconds at most. Port 80 is something to do with your PC being behind routers and firewalls i think?
 
indeed, some firewalls block traffic on other ports, try the port 80 option and see if that helps, otherwise l suggest upgrading your Java to the latest version and try again... if there is still a problem then its something god only knows :D (without server logs/pings/tracert results etc its hard to say where the problem may lay)

Tick the port 80 box to the right of the begint test button - press it before you begin the test
 
I have the latest Java version. But what is the port 80 option and how do I use it.

well the test runs on a random port, some ISPs block non-standard ports and most routers will as well, testing through port 80 should help in those cases, because port 80 is where http (web browsing) transmissions go through...
