I can't believe a moderator is asking that... :P

1 bit = 8 bytes
6500 are Kilobits, so if you divide them in 8, you'll get 800 Kilobytes, that's the max download speed you could get

It's a prerequisite to be a mod that you must know bit calculations? :O

that's nothing, it would be worst if you didnt know how a seedbox works,
Did you ask vectoral guys how long would it take the shipping for the 100MBit auto-install package? :lol:
