Download time for 30GB

[Spudmaster]

My internet speed is 3.5 mbs average (trust me its the fastest internet available where I live) and I was wondering roughly how long it would take to download 30GB.

At 3.5 Mbs you're looking at a good chunk of time, probably a good day.

3.5Mb/s = 0.4375MB/s (bit to byte conversion. divide by 8)
30GB = 30720MB (GB to MB conversion. multiply by 1024)

30720MB / 0.4375MB/s = 70217.14 seconds = 19.5 Hours

You need to account for other utilization on your line as well. Either way, like I said, a good day.
