It’s still super fast, but a 60gb download should be in the ball park of 1min but it frequently would take 10-15min
Edit: I have symmetrical 1GB fiber connection with a router specced for WiFi 7. I did mess up the abbreviation for megabytes, my bad y’all.
Edit 2: I may have messed it up again. IM 5 YALL
Edit 3: bit vs byte 🥵🌶️

Another factor is other devices on you network and other process on you PC. Priority is complex, so many processes may compete for download speed.
If you are on wifi, you are also probably limited to 600 Mbps (unless both the router and device has wifi 6E or higher), so ~75 MB/s. Ethernet interface and cables are also rated for a max speed (today, usually 1 gbps or 10, so either 125 MB/s or 1250)
If you want to test the real maximum speed, download a large game on steam to a m.2 ssd.
Steam servers are high bandwidth (unless it’s a big game release) and steam the software does not give a shit and will slow down every other download to a crawl as it takes as much bandwidth as it can. (Unless you manually limit it)
On my 1.5 gbps connection with a 10 gbs network, I get around 150 MB/s peak
