upload/download time for .ISO's

 

Cable Internet is notorious for slow speeds during busy hours. If lots of people are online on one particular group transmitter and using it, it will bog down. I have seen times where it has gotten down to 25 bytes/second on my 22Mbps line.

Downloading an "update" or patch to a program like Roxio Easy Media Creator Suite 10 (a cd burning program) nowadays requires the fastest broadband internet access you can get, because they are typically 800-900MB now. My Paint Shop Pro X2 update was 44MB. Sometimes, they are not just patching one or two programs – they are replacing the whole package. So brace yourself...

Equation for this form below:
overheadratio=10*(65536bytesperpacket+1024bytesoverhead)/65536.0bytesperpacket
hrs=(size×overheadratio/(bandwidthInBitsPerSecond/8bitsperbyte))/3600secondsinhour

broadband - any rate

Example: 8MB is written as as 8:MB or 8000:KB. 384KB is written as 384000 or 384:KB or 384:kb. 100GB is represented as 100:GB. computer unis can also be used, like :KiB, :MiB, :GiB, :TiB, :PiB (a 1:KiB is 2^10=1024 bytes, whereas 1:KB is 1000 bytes, and 1:MB is 1000000 bytes whereas 1:MiB is 2^20=1024^2=10241048576 bytes)
bps. Example: 8Mbps is written as as 8:Mb or 8000:Kb. 384Kbps is written as 384000 or 384:Kb or 384:kb. 100Gb is represented as 100:Gb.

Note: very vew prople actually get 48k or 56k. usually it's 26k.
