Hi,

my proposal:

- Two different checks in the probe configuration:
   - http:// small file download
   - http:// big file download
   Then, the user can select if their probe will download big or small  
files (bw impact).
- Fixed targets. The probe can connect only selected hosts and files  
(privacy impact). IMO, the targets should be non commercial sites,  
with good bw.
