When pacman shows that it downloads with 116 K/s does that mean 116 Kilobytes per second or 116 Kilobits per second?
I could not find any answer on the man page, google or these forums and currently have no way to measure it.

How about
pacman -Si gkrellm
pacman -Si iftop

Do you have examples of this? I've only every seen an upper-case K in Kbps.

No I don't @Trilby. Did I misspeak?
Opening a system monitor will quickly answer the OP's question.

When I had a ~3mbps connection pacman would show 300K/s. Do the math

That would suggest K stands for Kilobytes.

You can look into callback.c at db_dl_progress (line 655) and util.c for humanize_size (line 1074) to see that it is working in Bytes.

I know that the rule is b=bit, B=byte

Thanks Trilby.
Allan, care to share how you got pacman to echo the units with binary prefixes?
Is it a pacman or a locale setting I'm missing?
