Why do you think using WRONG units will decrease confusion. That's about as paradoxical as it gets. Standards were instituted for a reason. Is this not what we blame Microsoft always for?
It's this that is making me confused. If I see MB I don't know whether it means a million or a million 48 thousand bytes.
For downloads or files in the order of gigabytes, this difference MATTERS.
