Calculate the download time
Most of guys think that they have a 512 KBps connection
and blaming the ISP that they wont get the full speed 
Bt it isnt
they have 512Kbps internet connection (" b in lower case")
that means Kilo bits per second. Not Kilo Byte per second.
In IDM the transfer rate in KBps. we usually get 55-60 KBps speed in IDM.
Then how we calculate the download time ?
Example 1 : Lets take 729 KB file
first we have to convert this to bits
8 x 729 x 1024 = 5971968 bits
then we have to convert it to Kilo bits (Kb) To do it we must divide this by 1000 then we have the results.( Just like gram to Kilo gram)
5971.968 Kb
After that we have to divide it by our connection speed ( i'll take 512 Kbps connection) then it gives us the time (in seconds) we need to download the 729 KB file)
its approximately 11.5 seconds.
haha isnt this correct
Lets take another example to confirm this. hmm 100 MB file
k here we go
8 x 100 x 1024 x 1024 = 838860800 bits
1024 Kilo Bytes = 1 Mega Byte
then
838860.800 Kilo bits
by dividing the connection speed it gives
1638.4 seconds.
lets divide this by 60 to get this in minutes ( coz there is 60 seconds for a minute
)
approximately 27.30 Minutes
correct ne huh
PS
Download times are theoretical and depend on cable connection, computer processor speed and other overheads.
May b sme guys already know this . i posted this coz i think there are sme guys who dont knw this
