Dear friends,
Can anyone help me with this question: If I have internet connection of 512 kb/sec, what should the download speed be???
My assumption ~ around 200-250 kb/sec
Any thoughts.....????

Assuming that you mean kilobyte per second, that means your download speed is 512 kilobyte per second. You upload speed is usually a little bit less than that, and for marketing purposes ISPs usually only advertise the download speed, not the upload speed.
-
If the ISP provider guarantees 512kbps, then that's what you should get.

200 t0 250? Ha. I have a 2mbit connection and I usually top out at 210kbps for downloads. I used to use 512 and it's around 50 or 60 kbps for download.
-
the download speed matters who you download from but you maximum download speed should be 512

That's well said, if you are connecting with a very old computer using XP, then you might get very slow downloads.

I don't think it works that way, but in any case go here http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/. How I see it is this, if the connection is rated at 512kbps, that should equate to a download speed of around 60KB/sec, if you have a 15mbit connection that doesn't mean you're going to get download speeds of 15MB/sec.

speedtest you can find online is a good place to figure out your connection just get your units right.also from what i know the places you download from(anywhere) they limit how fast you can download because they want to save on there bandwidth so there site doesn't crash but i could be wrong
Very important question regarding internet vs. download speed
