Ideal seconds

GB×10⁹×8 / (Mbps×10⁶).

FAQ

How is download time estimated?

Uses decimal gigabytes GB × 10⁹ bytes, converts to bits with ×8, and divides by link rate in Mbps × 10⁶ bits/s. Result is an idealized seconds estimate; protocol overhead and real throughput are not modeled.

What does this estimate leave out?
