⏳ / ⬇️ Relationship between DOWNLOAD TIME/ FILE SIZE.

HOW TO KNOW THE TIME THAT YOU MUST WAIT…

Let us teach you about this . . .

To understand the relationship between download time and file size, you can use the formula:

Download Time = File Size / Download Speed​

Here’s how you can apply it:

1. Determine the File Size: Identify the size of the file you’re downloading. This is typically expressed in bytes (B), kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), etc.
2. Identify the Download Speed: Determine the speed of your internet connection. This is usually expressed in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (kbps), megabits per second (Mbps), etc. Make sure the units match with the file size (bits if the file size is in bits, bytes if the file size is in bytes).
3. Convert Units if Necessary: If your file size is in bytes and your download speed is in bits per second (or vice versa), you’ll need to convert one of them to match the other. Remember the conversion factors: 1 byte = 8 bits, kilo (k) = 1024 bytes/bits, Mega (M) = 1024 k.
4. Calculate Download Time: Once both file size and download speed are in compatible units, divide the file size by the download speed to get the download time. This will give you the time it takes to download the file.

Here’s an example:

Let’s say you’re downloading a file that’s 10 megabytes (MB) in size, and your download speed is 5 megabits per second (Mbps).

1. Convert file size to bits: 10MB × 1024KB / MB × 1024B / KB × 8bits / B = 83,886,080bits 10MB × 1024KB / MB × 1024B / KB × 8bits / B = 83,886,080bits.
2. Now, you can calculate the download time: 83,886,080bits / 5Mbps = 16,777,216 seconds
3. Convert seconds to a more understandable format, such as hours, minutes, and seconds.

This calculation gives you the estimated time it would take to download the file with the given download speed.
