I would like to see --report-bps. It explains itself, well, at least better than --bps which could be anything. To regard the current question of Fernando Cassia <[email protected]> (bug- wget 5.6.2012) (Is there any way to make wget report download speed in Kbps not MBps at the end of the transfer?): --report-bps replaces --bit --report-[gmkn]bps would respect the user's demand for explicitly gbps, mbps and kbps, with nbps = plain bps without giga, mega or kilo. What do you think ? Regards, Tim
