Question: approximately how long would it take you to download 1 terabyte of data?
Answer: There are 8 bits in a byte and 1,000,000,000,000(1 trillion) bytes in a terabyte. This means that there are 8 trillion bits in one terabyte. If my internet connection could transmit 1 million bits per second, it would still take 8 million seconds to download 1 terabyte.
