What it is
The data transfer calculator estimates how much time it takes to download or upload a file of a given size at a specific internet connection speed.
How it works
Enter the file size (e.g., 10 GB) and your connection speed (e.g., 100 Mbps). The calculator automatically converts units and computes the total time.
Examples
- 1.5 GB movie at 10 Mbps will download in about 20 minutes.
- 50 GB game at 100 Mbps will take about 1 hour 10 minutes.
Limitations & notes
Results are theoretical. Actual speed may be lower due to protocol overhead (TCP/IP), network congestion, and server-side limits.
FAQ
- Why is speed in Mbps but size in MB? File sizes are usually measured in bytes, while network speeds are measured in bits (1 byte = 8 bits).
- What is the difference between MB/s and Mbps? 1 MB/s (megabyte per second) is 8 times faster than 1 Mbps (megabit per second).
