hi friends.i know my computer as well as my connection is too low.infact if i was asked to download a 62MB file,i would rather not download it at all because it takes more than 2 hours ,that is if the file download is not interrupted.
but recently i came through many files which are atleast 150MB and no one seem to be bothered by the file size.its as if they can download it in 5 minutes.
thats why this discussion.
how long will it take u to download a 200MB file from a good website?
my answer using download accelerator plus and flashgot is nearly 2 and half hours.
how is urs?

Hi stardustcdsd, what type of connection do you use? if you're on dial up as myself, try some tweaking softwares and use only download accelerator plus. i also download lots of stuffs and downloading a 200 mb file size takes around 45 minutes on my computer. Please remember to tweak the internet connection on your computer, that way the downloads becomes much faster.Thank you!

i think it depends on your internet connection, my internet connection is about 384 kbps, if the connection is stable, to download 200 mb should be around 2 hours or less.
Thanks^^

I've got broadband and an Acer core 2 processor. My 'puter's pretty low on memory and speed's not brilliant, as we've 3 things running off the same modem. but I can download big files (100 MB or more) in 2 - 3 minutes.
I'm in the UK, but now India's leading the space race I reckon your speed should be at least as fast! Demand it from your government, now!!!

Well for 200MB from any site or through bittorrent(p2p file sharing), it takes around 2 hours to download.If i use any accelerator like IDM or DAP, then it almost takes the same time.
Earlier i had a faster 2mbps connection but that was limited.With that connection it takes me 20-30 mins to download a 200MB file.
Well nowadays, i used to download around 1GB daily with my unlimited connection in 10 hours.

Dear friend,
I could see that if the internet connection is stable and have more than 300 mphs the download would be better. In case the connection is gone the continuation can be obtained through download software that are in download sites. I hope it depends upon the speed and the stability of internet connection.
