I want to double check my calculations.


I hope to transfer HDTV shows (approx. 30GB each) from one location to another via the net.


The download speeds at both locations are 20Mbs

and the actual upload speeds (as tested on dslreports.com) are either

3,500 kbs

or

4,500 kbs


how much time shoudl it take each connection (3,500 kbs or 4,5000) to transfer the 30GB file?


thanks,

Jon

at 4,000 Kbps a little under 17 hours for a 30gig file. that is based on very quick math in my head, i could be wrong...

What you should test is the actual path you intend to use. Send a 500 Meg file from location A to location B. That should be easy enough.

30 GB * 1024MB/GB * 1024 KB/MB * 8 bits/Byte * 1sec/4500kb * 1min/60sec * 1hr/60min =

~16hrs


That's best case scenario.

yup and dont forget all the other things such as dropped packets and windowing. your looking at more like a day in realworld unless you can setup the path keep the path and its clean.
