I am downloading a file but trying to also determine the download speed in KBps. I came up with an equation, but it is giving strange results.
try (BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file)) {
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int read = 0;
while (true) {
long start = System.nanoTime();
if ((read = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, read);
} else {
break;
}
int speed = (int) ((read * 1000000000.0) / ((System.nanoTime() - start) * 1024.0));
}
}
It's giving me anywhere between 100 and 300,000. How can I make this give the correct download speed? Thanks
