put files. Upload a large HTML (or any other kind of file) to the HTTP server. Use the -u option of the
script to point to that URL. Play with the delay option to vary the load put on your network.

values range from 0 to 500 more useful.
time to run
Sets total run time in seconds. Default value is 60.
url Sets downloaded resource. Default is http://myhost.mydomain/index.html.
