Question
How do I work out how long in seconds it takes to download a 5GB file with a maximum speed of 56kbps??
Hi Cris
Errata:
very sorry for my confusion;
1MB = 8388608 bits
1GB = 1024 MB
1GB = 8589934592 bits
5GB = 5 x 8589934592 = 42949672960
42949672960/56000 = 766958.4457 sec
766958.4457/86400 sec per day = 8.87 days
it will take approximately 9 days to down load that data.
best regards
