Frequently Asked Questions

Our calculator provides an estimate based on the file size and connection speed you enter. Actual download times may vary due to network congestion, server load, and other factors. For most uses, it gives a good approximation.

Mbps stands for Megabits per second, while MBps stands for Megabytes per second. There are 8 bits in a byte, so 8 Mbps equals 1 MBps. Internet speeds are typically measured in bits (Mbps), while file sizes are measured in bytes (MB).

ISPs often advertise "up to" speeds, which represent the maximum possible speed under ideal conditions. Actual speeds can be affected by factors like network congestion, Wi-Fi signal strength, router performance, and distance from your ISP's equipment.

You can try: connecting via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi, upgrading your router, positioning your router in a central location, reducing the number of connected devices, closing background applications, or contacting your ISP about upgrading your plan.
