- Translate a transfer rate before estimating download time.
How it works
For the displayed direction, 1 MB/s equals 8000 kbit/s. The engine converts through the shared data rate base quantity. Lowercase b means bits and uppercase B means bytes. k/M/G prefixes here are decimal. The multiplier is derived from the two centralized unit factors. Keep full precision until the final result; displayed answers use up to 12 significant digits.
