You can use speedtest-go instead. There is no port but you install with go install github.com/showwin/speedtest-go@latest. Just one binary. It is not 100% compatible with speedtest-cli but more than good enough for its main task. Plus it has an API for use from a go program. See https://github.com/showwin/speedtest-go/blob/master/README.md

Doesnt seem to complicated to create a port for it. I will take a look at it this evening.

Sorry, can you record what you're doing and upload it somewhere like YouTube, please? (If you don't mind).

This port was very limited, all info I used to create the port can be found in the porters handbook.
If you are interested in porting feel free to reach out, but as a first step I would always recommend reading the handbook.

FreshPorts -- net/speedtest-go: CLI and Go API to test internet speed using speedtest.net

Command line interface and pure Go API to test internet speed using speedtest.net. Able to speedtest 2x faster than speedtest.net with almost the same result.

Enjoy! But no packages yet ....
