Gives wrong traffic info. when selecting the preference bits instead of bytes

[Shirish Agarwal]

Binary package hint: netspeed

Hi all,
  In General Settings there are number of preferences. One of those preferences is

Show bits instead of bytes

Selecting that preferences shows wrong info.

I am downloading some files, when the preference is not used it shows

29.9 KiB/s (for download) and 1.3 KiB/s (for upload)

If I use then it shows the reverse way

262 kb/s (for download) 11.2 kb/s

It should be showing greater for download as well, shouldn't it?
