I byte pee second translates to a little over 3KB/hr. Depends on the book.

It's 3600 bytes/hr. 60seconds per minute and 60minutes per hour. 60*60*1byte. Not to be condescending but the math here really isn't hard.

  • I mistyped a letter (thanks for indirectly pointing it out, fixed) and I get this flippant response. I guess this really is reddit.My real answer is close enough, I don't need to delineate on the level of bytes.

    Either way this is oedantry. My point doesn't change; it depends on what kind of book you download.

    • Further, compression makes this all substantially more complicated, i imagine you could compress flat text down to extreme levels using a hashtable and leveraging book specifics (lack of Unicode characters, etc).

      Either way, the argument is moot, most torrent clients set a minimum upload rate of 1-5kb/s.
