Mangled Units of Transmission Speed Can anyone explain what units CuteFTP uses for Speed  I see kbs and mbs in the CuteFTP  Queue Window for example but these are not valid units  kbs suggests kilobyte seconds or kilobit seconds  but both are nonsense units should be either kbps or kbs  Similarly mbs suggests millibyte seconds or millibit seconds which is doubly nonsense  both because it is a nonsense unit and also because even if they mean mbps or mbs it is a ridiculously small unit  I realize that they probably mean Mega rather than milli  but then they should use capital M  Baud used to be used universally for data transmission rates and that is at least unambiguous  This is all very sloppy and of course does not reflect well on GlobalScape  See Data rate units also see  Bit rate  SI prefix  Binary prefix  List of device bandwidths
