Specify total file or dataset size in MB, GB, or TB.
Select a connection preset or enter custom bandwidth in Mbps.
Check both theoretical peak and realistic overhead transfer durations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is real-world transfer slower than theoretical?
Real-world transfers experience ~10-15% TCP/IP packet overhead, window scaling, and network latency jitter.
How many bits are in a byte?
1 Byte = 8 bits. Connection speeds are measured in Megabits (Mbps) while files are measured in Megabytes (MB).
