this comes up frequently. Usually, the problem is sitting in front of the
screen. Have you actually got a problem, or are the numbers just confusing
you? Probably the latter, else you would be quoting facts ("my backups are
taking ... for ... GB"), not statistics ("BackupPC says it has transferred
... MB/s. Some other program required more bandwidth, so BackupPC's
performance must be poor").

I'm considering a feature request to always display "GB/s" as unit on the web
page (and a number between 1 and 9 as value). Or to make it removable by
configuration (with the default being "off"). At the very least, the numbers
should be scaled up to correspond to what naive users might compare them to.
Exact figures of what is actually happening are only meaningful to people who
understand what is actually happening.

Holger
