Hi Eric,
As regards speed, you are downloading a tiny file, but I wonder is it faster just to try opening a socket and not actually downloading anything? In my experience, all these methods are fast enough if the connection is OK, but you need to test the timeouts if there is no connection as they can be very slow.
I'd be slightly cautious about opening the socket and not transferring anything, especially if you this might happen frequently (ie.. very frequently). A socket opening without any data transfer (repeatedly) just might get picked up by an intrusion detection system as suspicious behaviour pattern .....
