How many 100k pages fit in a Gigabyte?

[musicales]

If each page on my site uses 100k of bandwidth (when adding up code and images), how many pages will it take to use 1Gb of bandwidth?

[bcolflesh]

1 GB = 1048576 KB

Don't forget that filesize is typically given in bytes (uppercase 'B') and bandwidth in bits (lowercase b).

So you'll need to divide by 8.

If you re-use common images from page to page, you'll get significant benefits by setting up your HTTP cache-control headers properly.

How do I "set up HTTP cache-control headers properly"?

Cheers,

Here's a good start: http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/
The implementation will depend on your server type.

I never knew that bandwidth was in bits. so I have 8 times more bandwidth than I thought!

[TheDave]

No you have 1/8 ;)

If they tell you that you have 1 gigabit then that is only 1/8 gigabyte, or about 125mb

Bandwidth is indeed usually measured in bits. But I don't think your talking about bandwidth here (rate of transfer) but about your transfer quoate for the month (amount of data transferred). This would be measured in bytes, or gigabytes in this case.

So I think you can be save to asume you have your 10,000 pages, minues images and other files.
