Frequently Asked Questions
Why does it take longer to download than the calculator says?
This calculator provides a theoretical best-case estimate. Real-world download times can be longer due to factors like network congestion, server speed, Wi-Fi interference, and other devices using your internet connection.
What's the difference between bits and bytes?
A bit is the smallest unit of data, while a byte is a group of 8 bits. Internet speeds are advertised in bits per second (Mbps), but file sizes are shown in bytes (MB). This is why a 100 Mbps connection downloads a file at a maximum of 12.5 megabytes per second (100 / 8).
