How long will 166.56 MB take to load with a 56k modem??

Answer 1

the modem will probably die of old age before it's done!............. R.I.P

Answer 2

A 56K will probably connect at 40K which is 40,000baud or 40,000 bits per second. Each byte is made up of 8 bits. You can probably expect the fastest download speed to be 4,000 bytes per second. 166.56 Mb is 174650818.56 bytes so the file will take 174650818.56 / 4000 seconds = 43662.70464 seconds
or 727 minutes
or 12 hours 8 minutes

Answer 3

About 8-10 hours as others have suggested.

Use a download manager as you will probably get disconnected several times. Also set your modem to automatically re-dial when the connection is lost.

Set the download going before you go to bed and it will nearly have finished when you wake. Good luck ;)

Answer 4

forget it downloading with a 56k modem is so outdated why on earth are you still using it, it will prob time out before it finished downloading

Answer 5

If you're talking about downloading, it'll take around 7-8 hours if you're downloading at an average of 6 kb/s. Good luck

Answer 6

It will take round about 9 hours, but download it with a download manager because if you get disconnected you'll have to restart otherwise.

Answer 7

Depends where your downloadings from. I'm assuming your downloading from a P2P site? If so then anywhere between forever and forever and a day. just out of curiosity what r u downloading?

Answer 8

Answer 9
