Remember to use these times as general guidelines only 
actual download time varies depending on your system
configuration, site traffic, network traffic, etc.

These are indicative of typical download times for
various file sizes: this was done by CNET to test
throughput to some images on their site, but the numbers
apply to any type of file download.
