Hi,

megaBITS or megabytes? Remember 8 bits = 1 byte.

the quick answer is: all of it while the files are in transport, none of it while nothing is being sent.

but for a detailed respone, you will need to confirm megabits or megabytes, as asked by Floppyman.

A rough rule of thumb is a 128k line will do 1 megabyte a minute, so a 512k can push 4 megabytes a minute, 240 megabytes an hour.
