Download time depends on file size (bits) divided by connection speed (bits per second). Note that file sizes are measured in bytes while speeds are in bits — there are 8 bits per byte.

Công thức

Time(sec) = File size(bits) ÷ Speed(bps) = File size(bytes) × 8 ÷ Speed(bps)
t
Download Time (seconds)
S
File Size (bytes)
b
Connection Speed (bps)

Hướng dẫn từng bước

  1. 1File size in bits = File size (bytes) × 8
  2. 2Download time (seconds) = File size (bits) ÷ Speed (bps)
  3. 31 GB = 8 Gigabits; at 100 Mbps: 80 seconds
  4. 4Real-world speeds are typically 60–80% of advertised speeds

Câu hỏi thường gặp

Why use bits instead of bytes?

Internet speeds are measured in bits per second because modems transmit one bit at a time. Files are measured in bytes (8 bits) for storage.

Why is my download slower than advertised?

Advertised speeds are maximums. Real-world speeds are 60–80% due to latency, packet loss, router overhead, and network congestion.

What does 1 Gbps mean in practical terms?

1 Gbps = 125 MB/s theoretical. With 80% efficiency, expect ≈100 MB/s, or about 10 seconds per gigabyte.
