How long an internet connection to broadband with a speed of 512 Kbps (DSL) should last to download 138 MB?

Hello

I have an internet connection broadband with a speed of 512 Kbps.
So, I think it means:
512 KB * 60 seconds (1 minute) = 30720 KB per minute.
Thus, 30720 KB/1024 = 30 MB
30 MB per minute
However, I noticed that the 140 MB in the screenshot below took about an hour until they were completed. It was supposed to take four minutes and a half approximately.
In addition, there is no other applications running while these downloads above are downloaded

The storage units in the case of networking is different. Please note the difference between KB and KB. The 'b' indicates bits (8 bits is a byte) and 'B' indicates bytes. In the case of networking, data are sent in form of packages, divided into eight parts, bits is used.

Therefore, 512 Kbps will achieve a maximum data transfer speed of 512/8 = 64 Kbps. 64 * 60 = 3840 KB per minute which is 3.75 MB per minute. On average, it'll take 45-50 minutes to download a 140 MB file. But we cannot wait for the speed of the network to be stable to always, it varies. So it may take more than an hour also.

    Hi Zeff,

    You can make Windows 7 the main computer for internet connection and then host the Windows XP computer.

    For more information, see the article:

    Start here to set up a home network in Windows 7

    Networking of computers running different versions of Windows

    With respect to the equipment as a router, hub, NIC depend on the connection (wired or wireless) you want to use. You can also check with the ISP (Internet Service Provider) for more information.

    For more information, see the articles:

    What do I need to connect to the Internet?

    Setting up a network home

    Wired and wireless connections have great benefits, but they have also some disadvantages.

    Wired connection:

    > Faster and more robust than wireless connections but not so flexible when positioning of computers and devices because you must be connected to your Super Hub with an Ethernet cable.

    > Safer than wireless connections, but not so convenient for users of laptops and other mobile devices.

    WiFi connection:

    > Wireless! If you can connect when you want. However performance may be affected by walls, electric interference etc.

    > Ideal for users of laptops and other mobile devices, you can connect devices more but slower than wired connections

    > Very safe when used with higher level (WPA) encryption. You can connect your smart phone to your network wirelessly for faster browsing.

    However, unauthorized users could try to use your connection (which explains why security is so important).

    There are two types of IP addresses. external and internal. Both computers have the same external IP address but separate internal IP addresses. Each device in your network will have its own (internal) IP address. The external IP address, who sees the Internet is actually assigned to your router.

    Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • Long wait for the Internet connection at startup with Vista

    Basic box Vista my fiance started taking never catch an internet connection at startup. Since the arrival of her office up to the time that the red X little disappeared from the network in its tray icon took four and five minutes. I've tried everything to fix, but nothing has worked. I'm looking through its installed programs that is a bit like the Add/Remove program utility in windows XP THAT and I see what is called Hello. It is the software by Apple, which allows some other software network function. I think it installed when she got her new smart phone and install disks. In any case, I uninstalled Hello, restarted, and bingo!, completed internet connection for about ten seconds after the bureau came. So if you have a similar problem, check your list of programs and search for Hello. Uninstall it and see if it solves your problem of network in Windows Vista. If it doesn't, you can always reinstall Hello, if you really think that you need.

    Thank you for this report and congratulations to solve the problem.

    When I see Hello on a computer, it is usually the result of installation of iTunes.  iTunes uses to find the libraries shared over a network.   If you have a computer with iTunes, you need not Hello.  For more information, see Hello: frequently asked questions (FAQ).

  • Problems of internet connection of Bluetooth with Nokia 6680

    Hello

    After a reinstall of Windows on my laptop Portege R200, I'm not able to install a new connection using the connection from the bluetooth stack Wizard more. This only happens for the express installation of the battery, I want to do for internet connection. Connect bluetooth to your mobile generally is working, as it is the Nokia PC Suite application. Re-install the software doesn't seem to work.

    Test a little, I discovered the following:
    -L' Connection Wizard (either automatically or manually) is not mobile and authentication works without problems as well. But after this step, an error message appears saying that the connection cannot be established
    -If I use manual mode to create a connection error occurs after you choose the COM port
    -At the manual installation: if I use some other than 40 COM-port, the error no longer appears and it continues with the installation of the modem
    -Use of the program of COM Local Bluetooth to add a port, I get an error of creation of the port COM-40, too
    -40 COM port is not used by another application

    No idea what could cause this problem?

    Hello

  • Securing internet connection Wi - Fi with Equium L10 and Belkin router

    Hello

    I installed a wireless belkin router on my laptop L10 and have an excellent connection to the internet - everything works fine. However, I would like to secure the connection to prevent indiscreet listening - I tried to do this under the encryption and authentication of the menus, but I'm not sure about the different acronyms used - eg Shared, WEP and WPA for example.

    I tried different combinations of these, but the laptop disconnects just from the router until I return to the connection 'open' standard with encryption disabled. Can someone point me in the right direction... ??

    Hello Dan

    Your router is unknown to me, but encryption is still working on the same path. Check the security settings of your router, then select security options. Set the encryption you want to use (WEP) and the password.
    Your device must be configured as described on this page

  • Troubleshooting of my internet connection VISTA windows with my WINDOWS 7 based laptop router

    I have a lenovo laptop on windows vista.  My computer dell laptop has windows 7 and I downloaded CONNECTIFY to turn my computer into a router.  I use an ethernet cable to connect my DELL (win7) to the main internet source which is far away where the laptop is used.  Computer Windows VISTA laptop can find and connect to my router, but the internet still does not work.  2 small computers in the lower right do not have the circle of globe which usually is if the internet works wireless.  Is there anything I can try to get my vista to work.  Thanks for the replies

    PS... I use the computer laptop windows 7 with my brand-new xbx360 with wireless included and it works beautifully!

    On the Lenovo, go to start / all programs / accessories / run and type ipconfig/all and paste the results here.

    Did you download the device drivers for CONNECTIFY on the Lenovo?  This may or may not be necessary depending on the software (and I know few things about it).  It seems to me that the connection is not configured properly (the Dell or Lenovo) or Vista is not compatible with this software (there may be other software that you must install on the Lenovo to make it work right).  I would try to contact your ISP and see if they can offer any assistance in obtaining connect.  Otherwise, I could contact technical support CONNECTIFY group and/or the forum and see if they have suggestions or advice (as is their router software).

    If this does not work, I suggest you just starting from scratch and reconfigure the whole (including the router) connection on both sides - just to make sure that you have everything well and didn't miss a step.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!
