@jbicha: If the file downloads are measured in *byte/s, than that should be changed to bit-based, just like this bug to be consistent. The Ubuntu units policy [1] clearly states that base-10 (kB, MB, etc.) should be used to measure network bandwidth, which seems to be the case for download speeds, upload speeds etc. So consistency should be a goal, either by using base-2 everywhere and changing the Units policy, or by fixing the apps showing download/upload to display in base-10.
