If I have two computers running Skype on the same network, transferring a file, does it use bandwidth?
by admin on Jan.12, 2012, under Uncategorized
I have two computers at home. Computer A and computer B are on the same wireless network. If both are running Skype, and I transfer a file (collection of pictures = 4-5 gigs) from one computer to another using Skype, does the first computer-upload the content to a Skype server and the second computer downloads it from the Skype server ? Or, does Skype just use the router in place to transfer the file? Thanks in advanced! : D

yes you use your bandwidth because you use your internet,you should use a flash drive or a external hdd to transfer to be sure you will not use your bandwidth

I don’t know what a skype is (LOL) unhook the phoneline from your modem, if the transfer does not work then it will use bandwith to do it.
I gave that first answer a thumbs up rating!

yes you will still use the bandwidth as the skype connection is on the web so you files will go from pc 1 to the internet and then to pc 2
