Norse10 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Why do the client use Byte per Second and not Bits per Second? The conversion isn't 1:8 or 1:10 (2 stop bits) it's more floating depended on the quality of the line if I'm not totaly mistaken. Anyway, the correct way to meassure transfere rate is bps, not B/s. Also, since the Service Provider gives the line capacity as bps, using B/s seems close to idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 ISPs are the only ones that use *bit/sec nowadays. Pretty much everyone else does their measurements in *byte/sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norse10 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 That might be, but the correct way is bps, B/s is something that came along because none-professionals didn't have a clue how fast bps was. I consider BitTorrent to be a professional program and would expect them not to use vulgar terms like that. Could you at least make it possible to have an option of choosing what to meassure the speed in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 It's been discussed before and isn't likely to happen, even with a feature request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norse10 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 Seriously? It's a minor calculation, would take your programmer 5 minutes, maybe less to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
