Hello to all. I'm just a bit confused. I was having a discussion on twitter
regarding the differens between what I see on my downloads area and what's
actually happening. I had something download at 130kbps and take about 6
minutes. the size was I think 100mb. Not someone sayd that capital B was for I
think bytes and lower case b was for kilibits for example. I cannot convert
what I'm seeing in to something useful like for example if I say this
connection is getting 700kbps what is that. 7mbps? I know that much but it's
when I see downloading at x speed and how to convert that in to something I can
picture in my head.
I know I'm crazy but I'm feeling stupid at the moment.
thanks all************
