[SaF] Kilobits, kilobytes and baud, oh my!

[Brian L. Johnson]

Hi all :)

I get a bit confused sometimes about kilobits and kilobytes, and how
they compare to each other, like is a 56k modem 56 kilobits or
kilobytes, and so on...

For example, I stream a music channel at 128kbps, and that's less than
1/4 of my bandwidth, yet a file downloads at 48Kbps and uses up all my
bandwidth...

Where can I go to get this cleared up?
