1) Convert the 4 Mbps to MBps. (The transfer speed is specificed in mega-bits per second; 1 byte has 8 bits). That is, 4 Mbps / (8 bits/byte) = 0.5 MBps.

2) For file sizes, MB usually refer, not to a million bytes, but to 10242 bytes, so you may want to multiply the 100 MB by 1.0242.

3) Finally, divide the result the transfer speed (in BYTES per second!), to get the number of seconds. Depending on the result, you may want to convert this into minutes, hours, or even days.

If you omit step 1 (confusing bits with bytes), you'll be off by a factor of 8; if you omit step 2, you'll only be about 5% off.

Which is faster 10.0 Mbps or 100 Mbps?

It's not that much faster -- maybe a little over twice as fast. DSL gives you 1,500 Mbps and cable can go as high as 8,000 Mbps. ^ This is wrong (old answer) ^ First, 'b' is Bit, 'B' is Byte. There are 8 bits in a byte In the case of the question (Megabits per seconds): 100.0 Mbps is equivalent to 12.5 MBps (Megabytes per second). Dial up modems are (generally) capable of doing 0.056MBps (56Kbps) maximum, 100.0 Mbps (12500Kb/s) is ALOT faster!
