In verbose mode the last line prints: Cf. Debian bug / wishlist: http://bugs.debian.org/539483 In verbose mode the last line prints: sent 619183 bytes received 1846 bytes 253480.12 bytes/sec SUGGESTION Please add Kib/s (whole number) and Mib/s (whole number with one decimal value) calculations too. An example: sent 619183 bytes received 1846 bytes 253480.12 b/s 253 K/b 0.3 M/s ===================
One option is to use the -h (--human-readable) option, and rsync will output that value (along with a bunch of other ones) in larger units. E.g., your example would output something like 253K bytes/sec.
I think the option of using --human-readable is adequate.
Please update the indicator to use IEEE standard KiB (Not K/b etc) or ISO Kb/s, Mb/s if that is the unit in question. -- Jari
