I'm a new fan of your app. Haven' t done anything fancy with it just use it to monitor my RasPi. Installation was a breeze on Raspi OS 32bit (fomerly Raspbian) via SNAP (sudo snap install btop).
For network monitoring I used to use (and sometimes still do) Speedometer https://github.com/wardi/speedometer
which has a nice -s switch to show speeds in Mbps (megabits) instead of the default (MBs, megabytes).
So I run speedometer -rx eth0 -s
Since I will be replacing speedometer with btop, is there any command line option for switching network measurements to Mbps? (megabits)?
I tested with a speedtest-cli session active and speedometer shows 95 Mbps, while btop running at the same time shows 11.7
so I suppose the units are MBps.
(I have screenshots I'm just not sure if images are allowed here).
In the menu I only found the option to change base from 1024 to 1000 and vice-versa, but nothing about showing Mbps. I personally always speak in Mbps never MB/s. I understand the unit switching to kbps for lower speeds but would prefer 0.9 Mbps instead of 900 Kbps, just a personal preference.
Thanks in advance for your time and any reply.
Cheers!
