10 segments

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the computer will send 10 segments. This will add up to be 1000 bytes (10 segments * 100-bytes each = 1000 bytes). Once this is done the server will need an acknowledgment from the PC stating that the file has been correctly downloaded and saved.
