Bug Description

The download size is displayed as k, even for large updates. It would be much easier to understand for the user if update-manager uses m(b).

Thanks for your bugreport

I can't reproduce this, it uses byte, kb and mb depending on the size of the data.

Cheers,

with todays updates of 19M I see that this is correct, michael, however yesterdays updates was around 8000k (7.8 megabytes).

In addion; using only K/M etc is extremly confusing, what about using the correct terms, namly kilobytes (Kb), megabytes (Mb) etc?

Is this still valid? I have checked with the latest Update-Manager from Maverick, and sizes are displayed in KB and MB depending on the size. See the screenshot for more details.
