https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6597

           Summary: Add Kib/s Mib/s indicators to last line message: sent
                    NNN bytes...
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned at samba.org
        ReportedBy: jari.aalto at cante.net
         QAContact: rsync-qa at samba.org


In verbose mode the last line prints:

Cf. Debian bug / wishlist: http://bugs.debian.org/539483

In verbose mode the last line prints:

   sent 619183 bytes  received 1846 bytes  253480.12 bytes/sec

SUGGESTION

Please add Kib/s (whole number) and Mib/s (whole number with one
decimal value) calculations too. An example:

   sent 619183 bytes  received 1846 bytes  253480.12 b/s 253 K/b 0.3 M/s
                                                     ==================

------- Comment #1 from wayned at samba.org  2009-08-01 13:39 CST -------
One option is to use the -h (--human-readable) option, and rsync will output
that value (along with a bunch of other ones) in larger units.  E.g., your
example would output something like 253K bytes/sec.

I think the option of using --human-readable is adequate.

Please update the indicator to use IEEE standard KiB (Not K/b etc) or ISO Kb/s,
Mb/s if that is the unit in question.
