How Long Will It Take To Download A File?
This is somewhat like asking, "How long is a piece of string?"
Download time depends on a number of factors, including:
- The speed of your modem and whether it uses compression
- The speed of your internet connection
- Whether you connect to your modem wirelessly or or a hard-wired cable
- The size of the file for downloading
- The type of information in a file
- The speed of the internet connection of the conputer your are downloading from (any chain is only as strong as its weakest link)
- The performance of the Internet between your computer and our Internet Service Provider
- How busy our Service Provider is (the time of day and how many people are using the 'internet' generally)
- The Contention Rate of your ISP (how many people accessing the same port to connect to the internet through your ISP)
- How far you are away from the Telephone Exchange
- The weather conditions (sometimes)
- Varying Internet conditions etc. etc.
