 1. in orbot it shows under the onion icon bit/s instead byte/s. If you
 have traffic of 1MBYTE per second it shows: 1 Mbit/s

 same for kbyte/s value with Kbit/s label and so on

 2. in orbot notification it reads "kbps" or "mbps" while the unit is
 KBYTE/s or MBYTE/s

 easily reproduce by downloading something... and for example compare
 traffic with traffic the torbrowser reports. download



 please fix by changing labels, because users think tor is slower by factor
 8 while it is actually not.
