If your new server is a VM that could be an issue as well with opening files usually excel If so google for more info Thanks Steve, I'll take a look at the implications for what you are proposing.
Thanks Gary. Hi, From the hosting comps. Short file names were turned off, this seemed to be the last thing to improve performance a little bit. This topic has been locked by an administrator and is no longer open for commenting. Pouring water from one beaker to another will only take a little amount of time. However, if we place a funnel on one beaker, the amount of water flow will decrease due to the narrow part of the funnel. The flow rate of the water in this analogy is similar to the transfer rate of a file.
We can compare a funnel's narrow tube part to what is called the internet's bandwidth. The larger the bandwidth is, the more data that can be transmitted at a time. Therefore, a file can be transferred much faster if the internet connection has a larger bandwidth. Bandwidth is also, in a way, an internet connection's maximum capacity, and we can express it in units of bits per second.
Internet bandwidth can also represent the maximum speed an internet connection can have. However, when moving a file from one computer to another, the maximum transfer speed will depend on the slowest bandwidth that the data has to go through - which can be anywhere in the route.
To better understand this, let us consider an example. Let's say that your friend wants to send you his new MB megabytes video creation over his 10 Mbps megabits per second internet connection. On the other hand, you will be receiving the video file over your 5 Mbps home internet connection.
For this example, let us assume that the upload and download speeds for both connections can use their entire bandwidths. Since the file will also be coming through the much lower 5 Mbps connection, this will be the maximum transfer speed that we can get for this data transfer. But, to determine the upload and download speeds of your connection, you can use any third-party speed test applications that can be accessed online through your browser. Now that we know how to determine the transfer speed for our uploads and downloads, we can now calculate a file's download time or duration.
Calculating download time is as simple as dividing the size of the file you wish to transfer by the transfer speed of the network that the transfer will go through. However, we have to be careful with the units we use, since this could be quite confusing.
Let us consider the example above for our sample computation. To calculate how long to download the MB video over a 5 Mbps internet download speed, we can use the equation below:.
But first, let us convert the units of the file size in terms of megabits, which is equivalent to 1 million bits. To do so, we'll be using the conversion table above under the SI system. With that said, we now have this computation:. If a file has been modified, it will automatically replace that file with the correct version. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. In reply to Anderson S. As for antivirus, I am simply using the default Windows 10 security.

The Downloads folder in Windows 10 is the default location all browsers save files to when you download them. Any app that needs to save files from the internet will use this same location including torrent clients and download managers.
Many apps and browsers will often let you open a downloaded file from their own interface e. You do have the option to change the save location to a different folder but most people stick to the default settings. Open File explorer and right-click the Downloads folder.
