"ab" is great, it comes with the Apache source.
If you want one for Wintendo, there is "Microsoft Web Application Stress Tool". I've never used it, so I don't really know if it's good or bad.

thanks, never heard of it going to check my apache distribution now it'd be useful for my dedicated machine but i need to run a few tests on a virtual account (no telnet access)... so a site that offers such a remote service would be a good idea... anyone?
