Description:
Thank you for developing such a versatile and useful tool! I have found a feature that can improve user experience significantly. Currently, users can only choose to display all traffic values either in Bits or Bytes. While this is handy, there is a prevalent convention of measuring network speed in bits (e.g., Mbps) and file size in bytes (e.g., GB).

Proposal:
I propose the implementation of a dual-unit display feature allowing the app to show network speed in bits and traffic totals in bytes simultaneously. This feature will enhance the user experience by aligning the tool’s display units with conventional expectations and industry standards.

Rationale:

Network speeds are universally represented in bits per second, aligning with the way telecommunications companies advertise and the way operating systems report it.
File sizes are ubiquitously represented in bytes, which is the standard unit used by operating systems to report storage capacity and file size.
Having the ability to see both network speed and file size in their respective conventional units would provide a more intuitive and user-friendly experience. It would mitigate the need to manually convert between units, reducing cognitive load and enhancing overall usability.

Thank you for considering this feature request. I absolutely love using this tool, and I believe this feature would make it even more invaluable for users who are looking for a seamless and intuitive experience. Keep up the excellent work!
