About this calculator
This calculator divides a file's size by your connection speed to estimate how long a download or upload will take, converting between the units files are measured in (megabytes, gigabytes) and the units internet speeds are advertised in (megabits, gigabits per second) — a distinction that trips a lot of people up since 1 byte equals 8 bits.
It's used to sanity-check an ISP's advertised speed against real-world transfer times, to plan around a large download like a game update, video file or OS image before starting it, and by IT staff estimating how long a backup, file transfer or software deployment will take over a given network link.
