What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I'm getting "MiB/s" and "GiB/s" and "Mi/s", "TiB" etc

For example right now with files redacted

Transferred: 183.834 GiB / 1.081 TiB, 17%, 79.823 MiB/s, ETA 3h17m28s
Transferred: 2412 / 12424, 19%
Elapsed time: 58m26.4s
Transferring:

Don't know what this means.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.65.0

  • os/version: debian 12.4 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 6.1.0-15-amd64 (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.21.4
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

hi,

that is what rclone uses https://rclone.org/docs/#size-option
"Options which use SIZE use KiB (multiples of 1024 bytes) by default. However, a suffix of B for Byte, K for KiB, M for MiB, G for GiB, T for TiB and P for PiB may be used. These are the binary units, e.g. 1, 210, 220, 2**30 respectively."

maybe you want --human-readable

Sorry. Googled a bit prior to posting and saw mebibyte but didn't deem it relevant from a quick glance. Feel stupid now, flagged the post for deletion. With that said - a more regular well known format would not hurt...

No need. Nobody knows everything and we all learn new things all the time:)

well.. in computing base 2 units are rather natural and base 10 ones belong to marketing not tech.

But maybe somebody can add --decimal flag and submit PR. It won't hurt if some people prefer this way.
