How to calculate the Download Time?

To calculate download time, divide the file size by the download speed in corresponding units (e.g. MB and Mbit/s, or GB and Gbit/s).

Then, multiply the result by 8 (because 1 byte = 8 bits).

Download Time [seconds] = File size ÷ Download Speed × 8
Example: Calculate the download time for a 250 MB file at a download speed of 50 Mbit/s
Download Time = 250 MB ÷ 50 Mbit/s × 8
Download Time = 5 * 8
Download Time = 40 seconds

Examples

1 Terabyte 1 Gbit/s 02:13:20
300 Megabytes 2 Mbit/s 00:20:00
