Afaik for bits and bytes it is 1:1024. So 8 mbit = 1 mbyte = 1024 kbyte. | ||

It's 1 byte = 8 bits. So 8mbit = 1mbyte = 1024 KB. The confusion is largely because of HD manufacturers that like to promote drives that use the 1:1000 conversion to look bigger. | ||

Many authors use the following convention: Mbps abbreviates megabits per second ~~~~ MBps abbreviates megabytes per second ~~~~~ The conversion is easy: 1 byte equals 8 bits, so: 1 MBps = 8 Mbps cool, thanks  so does this stream put out 800 kilobits or kilobytes per second? | ||

Did Much not use a-click, or did he just do attack-move / right click? Reavers glitch sometimes.... where instead of firing at their target they walk towards it instead. It's pretty retarded.... I don't think I saw it in any games so far but I have had it happen to me. Now I have seen it in game lol. | ||

If you want to measure your DOWNLOAD speed, i.e. how much porn you can stack per second, you have to divide your bitrate by 8, i.e. with 8 megaBIT internet speed, you can dl roughly 1 MegaBYTE per second. | ||
