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 🥵🌶️

The speed is usually expressed in megabits, which is about 8 times less. A given file transfer will only as fast as the slowest link allows. The given speed is only for the last line between you and the ISP. There could be a congestion later on the signal path. It is possible that the server itself has too many simultaneous users to allow each of them high speed. With today’s speeds we can no longer assume that the server that much faster.
Because of latency or distance in time, the transfer rate is limited by buffering. The transfer involves acknowledgements. The sender will only dispatch a certain amount of data before getting confirmation that it was received. Data loss causes a reduction of speed. This is how it is automatically adjusted to fill the capacity of a line. Some loss always happens and is corrected by waiting and resending it.
