when trying to figure out how fast modems (measured in bits per second) and
other network transmission speeds are in relation to how much kilobytes per
second they send. I think in kilobytes, not bits or bytes. Most file sizes
are represented by kilobytes.

If you do not take in account software compression and control characters
etc. you just have to divide it by 8. Or by 8,192 to get kilobytes.
