its my pleasure to point out that download speed is always kBps and not kbps[/b]
No, it's not always KBps or Kbps.
KBps = Kilobytes per second.
Kbps = Kilobits per second.
1 Mbps = 1000 Kilobits per second BUT 1 MBps = 1024 KBps.
That's the basic difference between bits and bytes.
So to calculate the relation between b and B, you always have to start from bits and bytes.
And 1 byte = 8 bits.
Therefore,
256 Kbps = 32KBps (That's the standard that most browsers, p2p clients, and download accelerators use).
2 Mbps = 250KBps (Not 256 KBps).
