Examples

  • 700 MB at 50 Mbps ⇒ 112 s
  • 1500 MB at 100 Mbps ⇒ 120 s

FAQ

Why multiply by 8?

There are 8 bits in a byte, so megabytes are converted to megabits.

Does this include network overhead?

No, it assumes ideal conditions without protocol overhead.

Can I use gigabytes?

Convert gigabytes to megabytes before entering (1 GB = 1024 MB).

What if my speed fluctuates?

Use your average download speed for a rough estimate.

Additional Information

  • Calculations assume 8 bits per byte and no protocol overhead.
  • Actual download time may be longer due to latency and network congestion.
