Comment (by massar):
> Why is MB/s ambiguous?
Because it could mean MegaBytes/second or Megabits/second
> There's no MBytes on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_units.
That is because networking code is typically measured in Megabits/second.
Tor is application level though, and thus everywhere in Tor the unit is
Megabytes/sec.
Note also that "MB" is ambiguous in wether it is 1024 or 1000...
