Game download time from size and bandwidth
PC / FPS
Use the download size, not the installed folder size. GB is decimal and bandwidth is Mbps. A utilization factor allows for contention; patch unpacking, disk writes and server limits are outside the estimate.
Result
- Minutes
- 125.4902
Formula
minutes = GB × 8000 / (Mbps × utilization / 100) / 60

Using this reference
Enter download size in decimal GB and bandwidth in Mbps. The utilization percentage lets you reserve part of that bandwidth: 100 Mbps at 80% is an effective 80 Mbps in this model. It is not a measurement of the speed your launcher will sustain.
The result covers transfer time only. Patching, decompression, verification and disk writes may add time or overlap with the transfer. If your connection varies, compare a conservative utilization setting with the full-rate estimate instead of treating one number as an exact finish time.
