Default Please change of Size units thing from MiB to MB ? (JDownloader 2)

In JDownloader 2

i know it's small change
yet, Please Can anyone change the Size Column units thing from MiB to MB ?

i mean for i was wondering what's MiB stands for , it's weird for everytime i
also get to pronounce in my head n it's just weird.

it should be "MB" for "MegaBytes"

it's never like MigaBytes.

so please it'll be nice n kind if anyone can fix the units notation thing in JD2.

well i knew about 1 byte = 8 bits , byte n bit difference , kb KB MB GB .. never heard about KiB kibibyte , MiB mebibyte before . May be should have googled before thinking it as an error. OR once i thought since JD developers could be German , so may be that could be because of Language translation of Megabyte. Hell, never thought it was just the Binary case for the Decimal thing. lol !

Anyways thanks for random knowledge !

yah it's the new way to differentiate between 1000 and 1024. [KMG]iB is correct format for our use.

At this stage we are happy with what we have, I don't believe we will give options to display units in different sizing formats, or force all units to be presented eg. 'MiB' instead of our automatic B(yte)|KiB|GiB|TiB gradings.

Please add the option to change MiB to MB, its a standard, MiB never seen, use normal and known measurements. MiB sucks. I speak spanish, my english is too bad.
