Ohhh, oh oh oh, ok.  Yeah, then I suppose kB/s is the correct way to go, if
my SI serves me right (and please, no "kibbis", lordy).

My point stands though: it would be a useful addition to have this
user-selectable, as in some other file transfer programs.  But my
counterpoint also stands: no options dialog.

Ooof, still using C string manipulation I see.  That brings back some
