Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues.

Describe the solution you'd like

As the title says, most of the times internet data rates are reported in multiples of bit/s. If it's possible, an option can be added to switch between bytes and bits unit for both speed and traffic amount labels.

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Of course making it configurable to switch between bytes and bits would be the most complete solution, but I think it'd add something that most of the users are not interested in, going against Sniffnet's simplicity principles.

Despite you're completely right in saying that traffic rate is usually reported in bit/s, it's more common to report cumulative data in bytes. So, I had to make a decision on which unit to use.

Anyway I'm open to consider introducing this possibility in case more users express positive feedback for this request (further ideas are also welcomed!).
