Thanks

[uk_45]

P.S. liking the new look of the downloads page nice image in the middle and all that jazz

[uk_45]

Ok looks like that links fixed now downloading it. KK 21mb aint that big!

[kingkenny]

Hey I am only 5.8 so 22 is massive. (heheheeh I am sooooooo funny!)

:moon:

[uk_45]

Yep must say 21mb is a wee bit big for 3 mins odd aint it!

[hayleyjade]

escuse me sir, you two are talking a different language!

please translate for humble humna beings like myself

[uk_45]

Ok hayley i'll put it in terms you understand (alothough you speak more languages than me better than me)

Your good at maths so as i told you before a 56K modem can use about 5Kb/s (kilobyes per second)

The File is 21Mb(mega byte) in one mega byte there are 1024 kilobytes so there are 21X1024=21,504Kb in this file.

To estimate the time it would take this to download at 5Kb/s we do 21,504÷5=4300.8 seconds.

To put this into minutes we do 4300.8÷60=71mins or 1 hour 11 mins.

Make sense?

[hayleyjade]

ah!lol! god thats a big file

am i asking too much to ask why they dont just out 1000 bytes in a k thingy? or should i just not ask!

also i dont do computers!

[uk_45]

right a kilo byte contains 1024 bytes i byte is made from 8 binary digits so if you know your 8 and so the numericle sequence goes: 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256,512, 1024!!! make sense?

[hayleyjade]

ah! alll becomes clear!

[bufc99]

Just don't tell her what half a byte is called ie. 4 bits

That'll really confuzzle her even though it sort of makes sense.

[uk_45]

What you mean a nibble???

[hayleyjade]

nibble? where?

[uk_45]

no half a byte is a nibble.

Ok 100 points who can finish this off:

Kilo, Mega, Giga,......,.......,........,.........,........

[Mantis]

I already knew tera but I'm afraid I had to look up peta, exa, zetta and yotta.

[Rdb811]

It doesn't make a yotta differnece.

[bufc99]

lol

How's about the other way then.

Deci, Centi, Milli, Micro, ... , ... , ... , ... , ... , ...

And yes I was talking about a nibble, kind of random but makes sense, half a byte = a nibble
