Bug#439808: gwget: use binary prefix instead of decimal SI prefix

Package: gwget
Version: 0.99-0ubuntu1
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***
gwget uses the old decimal prefix (base 10) which leaves room for
ambiguity while
the newer IEC standard (base2) is more accurate & consistent. Please look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix for guidance
