How many seconds are in a minute?
How many minutes in an hour?
How many hours in a day?

How many bits in a gigabit?


Now do the math.

WRONG!
There are 1000 bits in a kilobit.
There are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte.

as stated i have a 3gb/day limit.

maybe someone would be willig to host 40 gb that would thusly transfer like 40000000000gb per day.

Windows calculator > j00 :p

This is correct. :p Which means that you'd get to your 3GB cap in a hair over 44 hours. :)

It also means that it would take you 24 1/4th (roughly) days to dowload all 40GB.

Note that you didn't orignally say you have a 3GB (well, you did..sorta, but it wasn't 100% clear).

The answer to your question is that you wouldn't breach that limit, but it would take an insanely long time for you to get the files.

well my limit is 3gb/24 hours so i would be good.

now just to figure out how the hell it is easiest to transfer this stuff.

Probably by setting up a simple FTP on your friends computer via IIS, assuming he has Win XP Pro or some other able OS.

KB/s=20Kb/(8*1024)=2.44KB/s (that's in kilo-bytes, since bits are base 10 and bytes are base 2, which is severely screwed up).

2.44KB/s*(60 secs)*(60min)*(24hours)=206.9 MB/day, give or take, so yes, you would transfer much less than 3 GB/day.

cuz bandwidth is free while mail isnt.

and its to be shared on the DC++ hub here at school

and ask him, he has MANY MANY more gb's of porn that that. he posted a screen shot of his porn folder on here once.

Most of us assumed he meant 20KBytes, not bits.

If he's getting 20Kbits, then I feel sorry for him. :p

Yeah, wasn't sure. Thought maybe he was on dialup. That's the one thing I love about living on campus. 100 Mb/s connection straight to you house.
