Download Time Calculator
Internet speeds are sold in megabits per second, but file sizes are in megabytes — a factor of 8 apart. Enter both and this calculator converts them, adds a realistic overhead allowance and shows the expected time, plus a comparison table of common speeds.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input and files are not uploaded to any server.
How to use
- Enter the file size and unit.
- Enter your connection speed and its unit.
- Adjust the overhead if you know your real-world efficiency.
Examples
80 GB at 100 Mbps with 10% overhead ≈ 1 h 58 min.
2 GB at 20 Mbps upload ≈ 14 min 49 s.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my real download slower?
Server limits, Wi-Fi quality, other devices on the network and distance to the server all matter. The overhead setting covers protocol headers, not these factors.
Mbps or MB/s?
Mbps is megabits per second (what providers advertise). MB/s is megabytes per second (what download managers often show). 1 MB/s = 8 Mbps.
