Please switch from using GiB/MiB to GB/MB to be consistent with official WebUI, which uses GB/MB to show filesize.

Or add a toggle to switch between the two?

I am against this.

MB as in mega byte or mibi byte?

if used as 10^6 instead of the incorrect 2^20, I agree that an option would be nice but........

having MB always confuses me because many use it as 10^6 and many use it as 2^20.

the MiB doesn't have that issue.

maybe after many years that everyone corrected their use then we can ignore Mi/M and use the latter as 10^6.

but I don't hold my breath.
even private torrent trackers have this messed up. for example in KG, they use MB(or other prefixes) correctly in torrent list page but incorrectly in torrent main page.

cinemaz has this issue too.

so I always recommend using Ki/Mi and so on because this is no ambiguity in those.

The same as the official webui.

again,
that is confusing.
I prefer a symbol that removes confusion.

Ki/Mi/Gi are not confusing.

I think it is better to ask the official webui to use those instead of asking here for bad change.
