Hello
would it be possible to show the transfer bandwidth unit in Mega Bit Per Second (mbps) instead of Mega Byte (MB/s), because any bandwidth indication for network services are in mbps.
Thanks

But most file transfers are in MB, not mb.

Related: Apparently the convention is for macOS, Linux to use SI units, i.e. bytes are reported in powers of 1000, while Windows uses powers of 1024, despite incorrectly presenting them as SI unit e.g. "KB" instead of "KiB".

FFS was using 1024 for all platforms, next version will use 1000 for Linux, macOS, 1024 for Windows.
