Question

What should be number of characters in 1 MB downloading?

Answer 1

1MB is 1024KB = 1048576 bytes. Not characters - a character can be up to three bytes, and there are no characters in pictures or music files.

Answer 2

There is no set number of characters to determine file size.  It depends on the type of document, size of type, if there are any images, etc.

Answer 3

The filesize does not actually mean that's the number of characters inside it, but considering that it's a text file, each character holds 1 byte. 1 MB is 1000,000 bytes, so you would have about 1000,000 characters.

Again that's does not actually mean that the number of characters inside is precisely that.
