How much time it takes to download a 2GB MKV file?

We all like to download MKV (or other format) movie files. Here's a smart hack on calculating the time it takes to download a 2GB MKV file.

The download speed depends on the ADSL line speed you subscribe. For example:

• Your file is 2GB size.
• Your link speed is 2Mbps.
• You are estimating 80% link speed, to account for the network overhead.

So, goto Google search and type this:

2GB / ( 2Mbps * 0.8)

The result shows it is estimating 2.85 hours to complete the download.
