it takes 1 minute to download a 3mb data file. at what bit rate is the data being transfered?
955578
About 410 kilobits per second. Kilobits per second (Kbps) is the standard unit for measuring download speeds. Don't confuse it with kilobytes per second (KB/s) which is seldom used. There are eight bits in a byte.\n\n3 MB = 3 * 2^10 = 3,072 kilobytes\n3,072 kilobytes / 60 seconds = 51.2 KB/s\n51.2 KB/s * 8 bits in a byte = 409.6 Kbps (about 410)\n\nPlease note: the 2-to-the-power-of-10 in the first line reflects there being 1,024 kilobytes in a megabyte, rather than 1,000. Although sometimes 1,000 is used to simplify explanations because people can easily work with multiples of 10.\n\nEnjoy your physics homework or whatever it is!

it is taking a lot of bandwidth to download and it is not leaving enough room to do much else, i am assuming that you are on a dsl or cable hookup with a wireless off that to a second or third computer

Hours of what?  Music?  Video?  Reading?\n\n202000 is 202 MB... a typical MP3 would be about 3.5-4 hours.  Video, would depend on the format - it would probably be between 21 minutes and 4 hours, depending on the quality and other factors.  Reading would depend on how fast you read.\n\nSo you mean how many hours would it take to download 202MB? That depends on your internet connection... \non a 56K modem it would be about 9 hours.  Using a 768K DSL line, it would be about 35 minutes.  Using a T-1, about 17 minutes.  Using an 11 Mbit wireless link to the internet, it would take about 3 minutes.  All these numbers assume you get 90-100% bandwidth utilization and don't have any interference or other issues slowing the connection down.

about 47 seconds\n\nfor example to download a 5 minute MP3 on dial up would take about 12 minutes, and on broadband it would take about 25 seconds

You should be able to figure this out.\n\nKbps is thousands of bits each second\n\nKB is thousands of bytes.  A byte is usually 8 bits.\n\nConsider 80x8 Kb (640 thousand)\n\nto see how many seconds, divide the data size by speed.\n\n640 thousand bits / 32 thousand bits each second\n\n640,000/ 32,000 is definitely more than 3 seconds and far less than 10 years.

At a 128kb/s bitrate, probably around 30.

The rate at which CD-ROM drives can transfer data from the disc is gauged by a speed factor relative to music CDs: 1x or 1-speed which gives a data transfer rate of 150 kilobytes per second in the most common data format. By increasing the speed at which the disc is spun, data can be transferred at greater rates. For example, a CD-ROM drive that can read at 8x speed spins the disc at up to 4000 rpm (compared to the 500 rpm maximum for 1x speed), giving a transfer rate of 1.2 megabytes per second. Above 12x speed, vibration and heat can become a problem. CD-ROM drives above this speed tackle the problem in several ways. Constant angular velocity (CAV) drives spin the disc at a constant rate, leading to faster data transfer when reading from the outer parts of the disc, but slower towards the centre. 20x was thought to be the maximum speed due to mechanical constraints until Samsung Electronics introduced the SCR-3230, a 32x CD-ROM drive which uses a ball bearing system to balance the spinning disc in the drive to reduce vibration and noise. As of 2004, the fastest transfer rate commonly available is about 52x or 7.62 megabytes per second, though this is only when reading information from the outer parts of a disc. Future speed increases based simply upon spinning the disc faster are particularly limited by the strength of polycarbonate plastic used in CD manufacturing, though improvements can still be obtained by the use of multiple laser pickups as demonstrated by the Kenwood TrueX 72x which uses seven laser beams and a rotation speed of approximately 10x.\n\nCD-Recordable drives are often sold with three different speed ratings, one speed for write-once operations, one for re-write operations, and one for read-only operations. The speeds are typically listed in that order; ie a 12x/10x/32x CD drive can, CPU and media permitting, write to CD-R disks at 12x speed (1.76 megabytes/s), write to CD-RW discs at 10x speed (1.46 megabytes/s), and read from CD discs at 32x speed (4.69 megabytes/s).\n\nThe 1x speed rating for CDs (150 kilobytes/s) is not to be confused with the 1x speed rating for DVDs (1.32 megabytes/s).\n\nIdeally for writing a cd dont go for writing speeds more than 16X and for DVD dont go for writing speeds more than 12X

it's depend if you're downloading from the web is not you CPU is you internet connection and if it is for a camara or flash memory or whatever is not your CPU either is the USB port, the device or the cable itself, 'cause every port has and specefic speed and can't traspast and if you have a CPU at 3.8 ghz doesn't matter at all.

Instead of telling us how long it is tell us how many MB it is.\n\nIf it's more than 100MB then there's your answer.\n///

depends on what compression rate and format the movies in, and how fast of cable internet you have, if you have a firewall, where youre downloading it from. it could take 15 minutes, it could take 4 days. id say 3 hours average.

Right, it gets complicated because line speeds and file sizes are measured in 2 different ways. File sizes are kilo(1024)bytes and line speed are kilo(1000)bits(8 bits in a byte). It really makes line speeds sound faster than they actually are. But there's but 1mbps = 1000kbps if that's all you're asking. Be aware there's always some overhead, getting 90% of your rated line speed is about perfect.

it depends on ur upload speed..if ur upload speed is as high as ur dl speed..being 512kbps..den it will roughly take u bout 12-15minz

There is a lag due to the delay in transmitting from the earth to the satellite and then from the satellite back to the earth.  You notice this on web pages.  There is a lag in getting the download started, but once it is past that initial lag, it is very fast.

yeah, \nits taking ages to send a file of mine that like hardly 220KB\nand thats reallly small

if you are using a router try port forwarding.\n\nbut its probably slow cause there are no seeds, or too many people are downloading the file and there arent enough seeds for the demand

Are you sure the speed test didn't say 8 KBps (bytes instead of bits)? You should do these tests while nothing else is using your connection. Your connection should almost always be a little slower, but not that much. Try the speed test below, it should be closer to what your pc says--if you use it correctly.
