How long will it take to transfer 3.5GB via a typical dialup connection?
This would take a really long time, almost 140 hours (providing nothing goes wrong) You have 3.5GB round that off to 3500MB or 3500000KB, multiply by 8 to get bits (as your typical modem is 56K (as in kilobits (per second))) this will then equate to 28000000 seconds, which you can then divide by 60 to get minutes ie 466666 minutes, then by 60 again to hours this will give you 7777 hours, now its 56K so you divide by 56 (as its 56k) to 138.875 hours. This is at theoretical maximum 🙂 or 5.
