Change suffix format to Kb instead of KB

[MassMan]

Is there a way to change all the values to KBps/MBps instead of Kbps/Mbps.

I would prefer to use the same format as my internet connection. So that if you have a 100/100Mbps connection the full usage in qBitorrent is also 100/100Mbps, instead of the current 12.5/12.5MBps.

Not that I'm aware of. If I remember correctly, other clients also use this format.

You could change it in the source code though, probably. At least where it really bothers you, it shouldn't be a big project. This is just a guess though, values/variables might depend on each other and then it gets tricky. But not impossible.

What bothers my OCD even more is the "MiB" they use. What does that even stand for?! It's either mega-bits or mega-bytes and is denoted by an upper-case or lower-case "B/b". It takes me a split second every time I see that to think about what it stands for. I'm positive none of the devs will change it since it's hard-coded everywhere in the UI but, frankly, it should have been done properly in the first place. Unless, of course, that it stands for something else entirely, in which case just ignore my rant.

The "Mi" stands for "mebi" which is the binary prefix counterpart to the decimal prefix "mega".

1 MiB = 1024^2 bytes
1 MB = 1000^2 bytes (except when it's 1024^2)

Huh. Never even heard of that before and certainly haven't seen it used anywhere else...lol. Thanks for the link, appreciated!
