Method and calculation
Ideal transfer time divides decimal file megabits by connection megabits per second.
Inputs and settings
Download Time Calculator accepts File size (MB) (minimum 0.000001); Connection (Mbps) (minimum 0.000001).
Worked example
Download Time Calculator example — File size (MB): 1000; Connection (Mbps): 100. Computed output: { "seconds": 80, "minutes": 1.3333333333333333 }
Output and limitations
Download Time Calculator: Assumes full throughput; protocol overhead and congestion increase actual time.

Download Time Calculator FAQs
Download Time Calculator applies the following rule to your input: Ideal transfer time divides decimal file megabits by connection megabits per second. The worked example on this page uses the same processor as the result button.
Download Time Calculator has these boundaries: Assumes full throughput; protocol overhead and congestion increase actual time. Start by checking the file size (mb) field against the units or format shown.
Download Time Calculator provides this sample: { "seconds": 80, "minutes": 1.3333333333333333 }. Use the sample button to reproduce it, then replace the inputs with your own values.
