Hello,

human options would be better if it included base 1024 by default, the code
can turn that bit off where it doesn't want it (the si transfer status
value, should be the only place).

I'm not sure about that.
Generally data transfer rates (network, usb, disk, ...) are specified in SI 
units,
so it would be good to be consistent with those for comparison reasons.

cheers,
Pádraig
