Can we all use correct bandwidth units please?
384kbps / 8 = 48kbps, NOT 48KBps [1] (or its equivalent: 384000bps)
Further, bandwidth is, at least in the US, commonly sold and measured
in bits per second, in multiples of decimal thousands. ie: b, kbps, Mbps, Gbps.
Not in powers of two of disk storage space. ie: B, KiB, MiB, GiB.
And please don't mix decimal with binary (kB or Kib).
[1] Upper case K is an ambiguous non-standard prefix,
don't use it, assumed 1000 here.

Tor is a network application, not a storage application.
Hopefully all its references to bandwidth are using the SI and bit format.
Thanks and carry on :)
