In many cases Ping test can be used for such purpose.
It may display response time, percentage of lost packets, percentage of received packets.
Basically response time is inversely proportional to speed.

No, version 8 does not provide any special solution for such purpose.
If ping test is not good for you, could you please explain what exactly do you need? Its better to use Wish List forum...

As I understand you want to send large amount of data to specific host using specific protcol ICMP/UDP/TCP and check speed?
In general case such test cannot be performed by single piece software (HostMonitor) while its possible to implement such test using HostMonitor and RMA (for TCP traffic only) or use standard Echo service (if such server is installed on your system).
In any case such test will work very similar to ping test. So probably the only important difference - you need to see "speed" like 10MB instead of time like 100ms in Reply field of the test? Then we probably can add such option for Ping test.

What kind of issue? Somethign does not work properly?

Because we always trying to help and find solution that will work. If you prefer simple answers, Ok - this test cannot be performed by HostMonitor.

PS May be you want to check connection to your web server? In such case you need new option for URL and HTTP test instead of Ping test, right?
