Don't foget http://www.opensta.org too. Free open source load tool. Not as easy to use for quick simple tests, but pretty powerful if you need to do some serious load scripts (like pulling log-ins from a text file to simulate different users).

More information here: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html *very useful* instructions on getting started w/ a web stress plan: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/build-web-test-plan.html > The thing I like about Paessler over OpenLoad is that it's a regular > installed program.

Note also that their commercial versions are at like $50 for > 20 users, \$125 for 100 users, and only $325 for unlimited users. +1 JMeter == free.
