This is more of a workaround to check the download speeds so no official document available but I can help you with he steps. Take the SSH of XG > Option 5 > Option 3 Advanced shell Run the command -> wget "Download link" (here you can paste the download link of any file). And the download will start remove the file once you've tested with the command --> rm "filename" For example, I have tried this with a ubuntu iso file The method will be the same for UTM after taking the SSH.

Hi Raymond, Thanks for reaching out to Sophos Community. It is not possible to install third-party packages on XG and UTM. Only packages prepared and signed by the Sophos Dev team can be installed. However, If your only requirement is to check the bandwidth speed through CLI, You can simply download any file with 'curl' or 'wget' command to check the download speed. If you're doing this then make sure you've enough space in the device to download the file :)

Hi Raymond, You can run both 'curl' and 'wget' on SFOS as its also based on GNU/Linux. SFOS runs a custom version of GNU/Linux wherein UTM9 is based on Suse
