ELI5 - Why does internet speed show 50 MPBS but when something is downloading of 200 MBs, it takes significantly more time as to the 5 seconds it should take?

Usually internet speeds are advertised as mega bits where as file storage is mega bytes.

There are 8 bits in a byte.

So it would take 8 times longer then expected.

As an added nugget of information lookout for 50Mb compared to 50MB upper case B tends to be bytes where as lower case b tends to be bits.
