%
TCP/IPv4 over Ethernet carries 1,460 bytes of data in every 1,538 bytes sent, about 5 % overhead. Use 0 for the raw line rate.

Real downloads also depend on the server, Wi-Fi signal and other traffic, so actual times are often longer.

At 100 Mbit/s with 5% overhead, the useful rate is 11.88 MB/s, so 50 GB takes 1 h 10 min 10 s.

  1. Size in bits

    1 byte = 8 bits. GB means 10⁹ bytes; GiB means 2³⁰ bytes.

  2. Speed after overhead

다운로드 시간 계산기 소개

Download time is file size divided by the useful data rate. The calculator turns the size into bits (1 byte = 8 bits; GB means 10⁹ bytes and GiB means 2³⁰ bytes), takes the connection speed in bits per second, and removes the share of each packet taken by protocol headers: time = bits ÷ (speed × (1 − overhead)).

People use it before downloading a game or a cloud backup, and to judge whether a faster plan is worth paying for. The default, a 50 GB file on a 100 Mbit/s line with 5% overhead, takes 1 h 10 min 10 s; at 1,000 Mbit/s the same file takes about 7 minutes.

The result is a best case. The 5% default is the framing cost of TCP/IPv4 over Ethernet; the server's own limit, Wi-Fi signal and other traffic are not modelled. For an upload, enter your upload speed, which on asymmetric lines such as ADSL is lower than the download speed.

자주 묻는 질문

How long does it take to download 1 GB at 100 Mbps?

About 84 seconds with 5% protocol overhead, or 80 seconds at the raw line rate. 1 GB is 8,000 megabits, and 8,000 ÷ 100 = 80 s. Halving the speed doubles the time: 160 s raw at 50 Mbps. At 1 Gbps the same gigabyte takes 8 s raw, about 8.4 s with overhead.

What is the difference between Mbps and MB/s?

Mbps (megabits per second) is how connection speeds are sold; MB/s (megabytes per second) is how browsers and download managers show progress. A byte is 8 bits, so divide Mbps by 8: a 100 Mbps line moves at most 12.5 MB/s, and about 11.9 MB/s after 5% overhead. Both use decimal prefixes, so 1 Mbit = 10⁶ bits (NIST).

Why is my download slower than my internet speed?

Part of every packet is headers, not your file. With a 1,500-byte Ethernet MTU, TCP/IPv4 carries 1,460 bytes of data in every 1,538 bytes on the wire (IEEE 802.3 framing plus 20-byte IP and TCP headers), a 5.1% loss; the 12-byte TCP timestamp option cuts the data to 1,448 bytes, 5.9%. Beyond that, the server's upload limit, Wi-Fi signal and other devices sharing the line slow it further.

Why does a 50 GB download show as 46.6 GB on my computer?

Because Windows File Explorer counts in binary units but labels them GB: it divides by 2³⁰ (1,073,741,824) bytes, so 50 × 10⁹ bytes appears as 46.6 GB. Stores and ISPs use decimal gigabytes (10⁹ bytes, IEC 80000-13), and macOS has shown decimal sizes since Mac OS X 10.6 in 2009. Choose GiB in the size field for a size copied from Windows.

“다운로드 시간 계산기”의 정확도는 어느 정도인가요?

정확도는 입력값과 계산 방법의 가정에 따라 달라집니다. 십진 연산은 유효숫자 50자리를 사용하지만, 추정값·수치해석 방법·원본 데이터의 정밀도는 더 낮을 수 있습니다. 표시값을 반올림해도 이러한 한계는 사라지지 않습니다. 독립적인 출처의 풀이와 대조한 계산 예시: 5. 예를 들어 “50 GB at 100 Mbit/s with 5 % overhead”은 50 × 8 × 10⁹ bits ÷ (100 × 10⁶ × 0.95) bit/s = 4210.526… s (Python fractions)와 대조해 확인합니다.
