Package: bittornado
Version: 0.3.11-4
Severity: minor

In btdownloadcurses, the 'size' field shows units KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.
The 'dl speed' and 'ul speed' fields show KB/s.  The 'peers' field
shows kB/s.

My preference would be kB, MB, GB.  At any rate (no pun intended), both
KB and KiB are incorrect.

Either way, this is a simple text search/replace.

Actually, it is correct. The usage is as described here:

http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html

The size fields are calculated as multiples of 1024, while the DL and
UL speeds are using multiples of 1000. So the units used are correct.

You may say that they should both use the same, but I disagree, and so
does the upstream (it's intentional), so I won't be fixing this.

Thanks,
Cameron
