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
| File size | Average Download Speed | Estimated Download Time |
|---|---|---|
| 30 Gigabytes | 100 Mbit/s | 00:52:00 |
| 1 Terabyte | 1 Gbit/s | 02:13:20 |
| 300 Megabytes | 2 Mbit/s | 00:20:00 |
