[Snort-devel] legit network-traffic generating tool?

Hi,

Just curious if anyone knows some tool or program which I could use to create "realistic"
network-traffic including some http, ftp, long file downloads, etc.? Basically, I need something that can simulate real web-activity.

I have coded a worm-detecting preprocessor plugin for Snort, but I want such a traffic-generating tool to test how well my Snort plugin detects the kind of worms its made for...and may be eliminate false-positives.

Let me know if anyone knows such a program out there which can help stress test my network with such legitimate traffic (in addition to my worm code which I'll be running).

I'm looking through sourceforge, but haven't noticed anything relevant. (except may be
"traffic"/trafserver/trafclient??)

Thanks in advance, (hope I explained it well, let me know if I haven't :) )
