Bug ID: 9932
Summary: allow to select Kibibyte or Kibibit as units of
display
Classification: Panel Plugins
Product: Xfce4-netload-plugin
Version: 1.0.0
Hardware: Other
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Medium
Component: General
Assignee: frivoal at xfce.org
Reporter: liv-public at myopera.com

Currently the plugin only displays network speed in Kibibytes (kilobytes).
While this is what users usually expect, sometimes other programs (e.g.
Linphone) use Kibibits (kilobits) per second as their units of measuring
download/upload speeds. It seems that the industry tends to use bits per second
to measure network speed, as is done in this website: http://www.speedtest.net/
.
I would suggest that the plugin allow the use of either measurement unit,
Kibibyte or Kibibit, both in the properties window when setting the bars'
limits and in the panel tooltip that informs the user of current
incoming/outgoing speeds.
