Download throttling limit in Kbps, rather than KB/s

[PseudoThief]

In the Settings -> Downloads "Limit bandwidth" section, the throttling speed is in kbps, when the "Display download rates in bits per second" option is set to OFF.

This means in order to see my download throttling setting in KB/s, I have to guess a number and go to the download screen to see if it's close to the KB/s setting I want, then keep going back and forth until it's right (or use a converter on my phone etc, but that's equally inconvenient).

it's literally just 8 times smaller.

But yeah, it should get fixed.

Why do you have to guess? it should get fixed but literally just add another 0 on to the number lol...

Well...no. If I want to set a download cap of 5600 KB/s because I know that allows sufficient overhead for other devices in the house to operate smoothly that means I need a setting of 44,800 kbps. Good luck pulling that figure out off the top of your head.

Yes, you can do a calculation of 8 times smaller or larger to convert, but it's a conversion you shouldn't have to do AND it's a PITA to get the phone/calculator out to do that. Especially if you have multiple people complaining of not having enough bandwidth whilst also trying to download large 100GB+ downloads over the course of the day - repeatedly changing values throughout the day to optimise settings for everyone so downloads happen as quickly as possible, whilst minimising buffering etc at times when other people are using devices.

Yes, it should get fixed eventually as it's an easy fix to make. I'm just flagging it here for attention.

you need QoS set up in your router so it does the traffic priority automatically
