Common Problem|Downloading in KBps while you have a 1 Mbps connection??

You would be noticing the speed of your Internet Connection whereas while downloading something from the net in KBps however you've got a connection in Mbps! The download speed even on Internet Download Manager can be seen in KBps. This is a confusion that is faced by everybody using the net to download files! In real there's no such distinction within the speeds. Really the distinction is that the conversion of the units. This can be a very long topic however I'll do my best to clarify it in an exceedingly short methodology.

You asked your internet Service provider (ISP) to get a 1 Mbps internet connection and once it's installed you're thinking that to download something from the net and you're dismayed to envision the download rate in KBps!!

This is when you once you are downloading you're shown the speed in kilo Bytes Per Second, and also the connection speed you're obtaining from your ISP is in Mega Bits Per Second. Please notice the underlined words. They are Bytes and Bits, you must have read about these however ne'er have detected this in downloading! Byte is denoted by Capital "B" and bit is denoted by little "b". eight bits are equal to one Byte!

Simply look below to the given normal conversions::

Speed by ISP       :     Speed you see

1 Mbps         =    128 KBps

2 Mbps         =    256 KBps

4 Mbps         =    512 KBps

                   6 Mbps         =    1024 KBps ( 1 MBps)

                   8 Mbps         =    2048 KBps ( 2 MBps)

                   16 Mbps       =    4096 KBps ( 4 MBps)

                   32 Mbps       =    8192 KBps ( 8 MBps)

                       64 Mbps       =    16384 KBps ( 16 MBps)

                       128 Mbps     =    32768 KBps ( 32 MBps)

                       512 Mbps     =    65536 KBps ( 64 MBps)
