Hi,

This is a small feature request. It'll be nice to add an option where the user can choose to display *both* the torrent's size and upload/download amount in MB instead of defaulting to GB for large torrents. With GB only, one cannot see precisely how much he has downloaded or uploaded when pulling a big torrent > 1 GB. For example, a 1.7 GB (out of 7.2 GB) download does not really tell me *precisely* how much that is in MB. It could be anywhere between 1741 MB and 1842 MB.

We use the KDE api to format byte sizes, setting the precision will be supported in KDE 4.4. So we will have to wait to use that.

Ahhh, didn't knew that. Guess I'll have to wait then. Thanks for the info, George ;)

Totally forgotten about this.

The question now is 2 or 3 digit precision ?

Hi,
I'm using KDE 4.4.2. Can you show me how to set the display to MB instead of defaulting to GB?
