Estimate File Download Times Accurately
Dec 09, 2024•2 min read
Internet speeds are often marketed in "Megabits" (Mbps), while files are measured in "Megabytes" (MB). This confusion often leads to bad estimates.
The Math Behind It
Since there are 8 bits in 1 byte, a 100 Mbps connection actually downloads at 12.5 MB/s. Our Download Time Calculator handles this conversion automatically, giving you a precise estimated time for your 50GB game or 4K movie download.
