Acutally, it is not a unit I have seen often. I know bps (bytes per second). Now, one ASCII character is one byte long, so you would think this is the same, but: one Chinese character is 2 bytes long. So, if TB downloads emails in Chinese language, I always wonder how it can double the speed (in bps) so suddenly. What if the Chinese text is interspersed with English terms? ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas.
