 > Personally, I'd prefer bits over bytes, too.

 I think that on this thread everybody is favouring bits actually. Thus
 just showing bits might be the way to go and then make a note that these
 are bits, not bytes as seen in Tor.

 Should not be too tricky right, just have a toggle ?units=bytes  or
 ?units=bits
 and default on the one that we want to standardize on.

 at 30C3. :)

 Unfortunately C3's are incompatible with this family thing hence I am not
 able to attend that.... though CCC-folks are typically behaving like
 family in their good ways ;)
