Server hard disk read speed and client download speed, is there a connection? [closed]
- by Mywiki Witwiki
Ok so a client's download speed is only as fast as a server's upload speed, and vice versa. Based on the answers to this post:
Does upload speed depend upon download speed of the server?
In other words, the data transfer rate between the two computers is only as fast as the speed of the "bottleneck".
Let's pretend the two computers are in two different networks and both have 100Mbps internet connection. Ben wants a copy of a file in Mark's computer hard disk with 30Mbps read speed. Does this mean that Ben can download the file at a speed of around 30Mbps only, despite having an internet connection faster than 30Mbps?
