Yeah, I already reported this but did it while sleepy so it wasn't very
clear. Well, now we have a patch for it so it's easy to get it right.

Wget seems to use 1024 and not 1000, which is OK but..

http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html   tells it's not K/s or M/s,

rather KiB/s and MiB/s. In last mail I said K/s should be k/s. That would
have been nice but as it uses 1024, it's better to use KiB and MiB and GiB
instead if I'm right.

So here's a simple patch for the issue.

http://rocketlan.ihme.org/~joneskoo/stuff/wget_unitfix.patch

( By Joonas Kortesalmi (joneskoo) and Andrea Luzzardi (scox)  )

It adds a space between the amount of data downloaded and unit and
changes units from K/s to KiB/s, M/s to MiB/s, G/s to GiB/s.

I don't think such simple issue needs any more text describing it. If you
need to contact me, well, you can reach me as joneskoo  from both IRCNet
and OpenProjects.net.. And by email, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ps. last time my email was broken, sorry :)
