Wrong terminology #9305

Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

qBittorrent 4.1.1 64bit; Windows 8.1 64bit

What is the problem

Wrong terminology- how can a megabyte per second be written as MiB/S? It's megabyte not Migabyte!
Also this terminology is very very confusing. Why just not use the following:
Kilobyte-KB
Megabyte-MB
Gigabyte-GB
KiB, MiB, and GiB are just out of this world

What is the expected behavior

Kilobyte-KB
Megabyte-MB
Gigabyte-GB
Kilobyte per second- KB/s
Megabyte per second- MB/s
Gigabyte per second (if someone even has this speed)- GB/s
