If you are using Torrent Pro app, you will find this feature in the general section with speed units, where you can select Mbps or MB/s. This is one of the unique features that the developer provides in the customization segment. Now we will explain what the difference between these two units is.
Many people are confused about the difference between Mbps and MB/s when it comes to internet speed. In this blog post, we will explain what these terms mean and how they affect your online experience.
Mbps stands for megabits per second, which is a measure of how much data can be transferred in one second. MB/s stands for megabytes per second, which is a measure of how much data is stored in one unit. A bit is the smallest unit of data, while a byte is made up of eight bits.
To convert from Mbps to MB/s, you need to divide by eight. For example, if your internet speed is 100 Mbps, that means you can transfer 100 megabits of data in one second, or 12.5 megabytes of data in one second. Conversely, to convert from MB/s to Mbps, you need to multiply by eight.
Why does this matter? Well, when you download or upload files, such as photos, videos, or documents, they are usually measured in megabytes or gigabytes (which are 1,000 megabytes). So, if you want to know how long it will take to download or upload a file, you need to know your internet speed in MB/s, not Mbps.
For example, let’s say you want to download a 500 MB video file. If your internet speed is 100 Mbps, that means you can download 12.5 MB of data per second. So, to download the whole file, you need to divide 500 by 12.5, which gives you 40 seconds. However, if your internet speed is 100 MB/s, that means you can download 100 MB of data per second. So, to download the same file, you only need to divide 500 by 100, which gives you 5 seconds.
As you can see, there is a big difference between Mbps and MB/s when it comes to internet speed. The higher the number, the faster the speed. However, you need to make sure you are using the right unit for the right purpose. Otherwise, you might end up with inaccurate results or expectations.
