converting to hours (time) from kilobytes streamed?

[pbd22]

Hi.

Could somebody provide me with a formula (or, better, a
code example) for converting kilobytes to hours (or, time) from the
server?

Thanks.

Well, fundamentally it's just:

timeLeft = dataLeft / transferRate;

Now you just need to make sure that you've got dataLeft and
transferRate in the right units, and you're away.

You would need to have the transfer speed in bytes/sec, then its the total
number of bytes remaining divided by the bytes/sec divided by 60 (to get
minutes) divided by 60 again to get hours.
