How it works
Calculations happen directly in your browser
DownloadGauge uses the file size, download speed, and target time values you enter to calculate an estimate based on the relationship between data size, transfer speed, and time.
The calculations are performed directly in your browser. Your calculator inputs do not need to be sent to a server to produce the result.
Actual download times can vary because real-world transfers are affected by factors such as network conditions, server performance, Wi-Fi conditions, and other sources of overhead.
