Hello, I'm trying to figure out an apparent change since I updates to the new 8.0 betas. First, the pro forma:

Version: 0.8.0Beta3 [0b6395f]
OS: Ubuntu Server 14.04.3
Install-type: Repo (jcfp)
Skin (if applicable): Glitter
Firewall Software: None
Are you using IPV6? No
Is the issue reproducible? Yes

When I was still on 7.x I had a daily schedule to set a speed limit at 7:30AM to 4MB/s. This was entered as 4096 in the argument field in the scheduler. This worked fine for years.

Once I upgraded to 8.x it stopped working. It will download when the speed limit is set to 4096, but at around 5KB/s.

Was the argument changed in 8.x to take B/s as opposed to KB/s? This would seem to explain the issue. Will I get the expected 4MB/s if I enter something along the lines of 4194304 as the argument? Or was this totally changed with the new percentage of line speed system?

Any help would be appreciated.

I may have posted too soon. I just saw this on GitHub:

Changes in Beta3

Speedlimit corrections

I just updated to Beta 3 today so this might no longer be an issue.

Indeed it changed to B/sec!
In Beta3 we build in automatic conversion of old speed schedulers by adding 'K' to the end. So when you go to the scheduler, you should now see 4096K, which is 4MB/s.

Thanks for getting back to me and for the confirmation.
