File sizes are typically measured in MBs. A megabit is 1000000 bits, which translates to about 125 kilobytes. A megabyte is made of 1024 kilobytes. This means that a 10 Mbps connection will deliver download speeds up to 1. 25 MBps.

All things being equal, you will download a file faster from a server that is 10 miles (16 km) away as opposed to a server that is 500 miles (800 km) away.

A close location will give you the best results and the closest transfer rate to your maximum. You can test your speeds to servers around the world to see how long it would take you to download files from another country.
