Looks great.
Tested it with latest 2.1.3 commit 42e96b1 from pip.
@sivel can you take a look. Would be great to get a fix release.
This 403 are piling up lately.
The other PRs just force secure request on default.

when i wrote the python program as described it gives 15-20 times download speed and 5-6 times upload speed then other online websites like "ookla "
code that it write after searching on internet
# import speedtest module
import speedtest

def bytes_to_mb(bytes):
KB = 1024 # One Kilobyte is 1024 bytes
MB = KB * 1024 # One MB is 1024 KB
return int(bytes/MB)

speed_test = speedtest.Speedtest()

download_speed = speed_test.download()
print("Your Download speed is", download_speed)

upload_speed = speed_test.upload()
print("Your Upload speed is", upload_speed)

download_speed = bytes_to_mb(download_speed)
upload_speed = bytes_to_mb(upload_speed)

print("Your Download speed is", download_speed, "MB")
print("Your Upload speed is", upload_speed, "MB")

Output
Your Download speed is 2156989416.089659
Your Upload speed is 620944653.8589141
Your Download speed is 2057 MB
Your Upload speed is 592 MB
