Comment (by massar):

 > Why is MB/s ambiguous?

 Because it could mean MegaBytes/second or Megabits/second

 > There's no MBytes on âhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_rate_units.

 That is because networking code is typically measured in Megabits/second.

 Tor is application level though, and thus everywhere in Tor the unit is
 Megabytes/sec.

 Note also that "MB" is ambiguous in wether it is 1024 or 1000...
