A 1Mbps connection, right? 1 byte / 8 bits = 1/8 MB therefore, 1 megabit = 8 megabytes, which translates into .125 MB/s (mega means "thousand") There are about 1000 megabytes in a gigabyte (1024 KB * 1024 KB, to be exact) 1/8 MB/s * 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours per day = 10,800 MB/day Or, roughly, about 11 GBs (about 2 to 3 DVDs worth of info). make sense? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
