IMHO, wget thinks a MB is 2^20 (== 1MiB), instead of 10^6. This results in a
5% error.
(Softlayer seems to have made the same error.)
Am I wrong?
If you are talking millions in currency, or objects you are talking about
something that is a power of 10. If you are talking about millions in
computer terms (ie. bytes), the value is a power of 2.
It is all about the units.
