Package: iftop
Version: 0.17-3
Severity: normal

When I use the -B command line option or the "use-bytes" config-file
option, most of the bandwidth rates on the screen change to bytes...
but the numbers in the top line of the screen do not.

A one-line patch to fix this problem was posted in the Gentoo
bug-tracking system:
   https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101926

That patch was also reported to the iftop-users list and appears to have
been committed to the upstream CVS (but not until after the release of
v0.17).

On a related note, the man page description of the "max-bandwidth"
config option should probably be updated to mention that the value
specified should always be in bits-per-second (regardless of the
use-bytes/-B setting).

Thanks.
