Frequently Asked Questions
How is download/upload time calculated?
The time is calculated using the formula: time = (file size in megabytes × 8) ÷ speed in megabits per second.
Why is file size converted to megabits?
Internet speed is usually measured in megabits per second (Mbps), while file sizes are often in megabytes (MB). 1 MB = 8 megabits.
Does this calculator account for real-world factors?
No, it provides an estimate under ideal conditions. Real transfer speeds may vary due to network congestion, server limits, or device performance.
Can I use this calculator for large files?
Yes, just enter the correct file size in megabytes. For gigabyte-sized files, convert to MB (1 GB = 1024 MB) before input.
