Download speed is displayed in bytes/second, but in some situations, it
|
|
|
|
|
would be better to use bits/second, eg Mbps and Kbps rather than MiB/s and
|
|
|
|
|
KiB/s.

I noticed this now that I have an internet connection that is
|
|
|
|
|
capable of 150-200 Mbps, but varies widely (satellite). While I could think
|
|
|
|
|
of that as 19-25 MiB/s those are less round numbers and harder to remember
|
|
|
|
|
and match up with the other bandwidth displays.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This might make sense as a per-remote configurable value. Allowing
|
|
|
|
|
using MiB/s for a hard drive and Mbps for a network remote. --[[Joey]]
