The distribution time $D_{CS}$ to transmit one copy of a file of size $F$ to $N$ peers that each have the download speed $d_i$, while the distributing server has upload speed $u_s$ is

D_{cs} = \max \left\\{ \frac{NF}{u_s}, \frac{F}{d_{\text{min}}} \right\\}

where $$\begin{gathered} d_{\text{min}}=\min \\ {d}_1,d_2,\dots ,d_N \end{gathered}$$.
