The time needed to finish the transfer is completely dependent on your bandwidth to the Internet and the level of server activity. Because FilesAnywhere has an extremely high-capacity connection to the Internet, transfer rates will not normally be effected by other users. For cable modem, DSL, or other broadband users, downloading a 1MB file will typically take 10 seconds or less.
If you are using a modem, please be extremely patient, since file transfers can take a long time over slow connections. Use Zip!Download to download multiple files, folders, or for any large files that are not already compressed. Click the Multi-Download tab to find out more.
