I want to display bytes (how much size an s3 prefix is using) and now it is misleading when it format it in billion or trillion like 900B or 1.5T which isn't accurate.

We're a lot closer to this now, as you can kind of do this with currencies. I believe you can add additional currencies in config.py. I admit, Mbps is not a currency, but you can jury rig it a bit. We'd be open to proposals/PRs that change this UI to be some sort of "metric" rather than just currency... maybe people want to add kPa, or who knows what measurements as a suffix.

Closing since it's a feature request rather than a bug, but again, happy to keep the discussion going or review a PR :D
