As with real networks and operators, if this is so, then big thank
you to arm people for correctly counting network bandwidth in bps.
No thanks on webhosters and isp's who convert their upstrream
bandwidth contracts into transfer bytes and pass that on to their
customers for their apache logs, thereby spoofing hosted network
*bandwidth* apps like Tor into feeling some silly need to count bytes.
Do wish Tor would speak properly in bits by default.
