No need — you can use their "mini" widget which uses a server that you
host (.jpg files for the download, various scripts for sucking up the
uploads) with no need to make it an official speedtest.net mirror.

When their site is back up, you can check out:

<http://www.speedtest.net/mini.php>

We use it for some of our higher bandwidth but less technical customers
who want to see numbers, but the official site is too inaccurate (or
mirrors overloaded).
