Describe the Feature you'd like

My provider believes 1 GB = 1000 MB, while Data Monitor says 1024 MB. I would like Data Monitor to have an option where you can switch between 1 GB = 1024 MB and 1 GB = 1000 MB.

Why do you want this feature?

This would avoid a mismatch between my usage shown by Data Monitor and my usage according to my provider.

The suggestion of @rickdoq looks like an automated response of a bot. The fix has nothing to do with my request and looks like a possible security related scam.

Another way of dealing with this issue is to show everything in MB and not using GB. So please consider the option of showing data usage always in MB. If you could add this behavior as an option in Data Monitor, it would be very helpful. The switch between 1000 MB and 1024 MB would not be necessary anymore in that case.

I was going to ask if DataMonitor users 1000 or 1024. is a 1mb 1000 kb or 1024kb though. :-) I also want to be able to change between 1024 and 1000.

The https://github.com/Sergey842248/DataTracker fork is going to have this next release.

I didn't know there was an active fork ! Awesome ! (Look like this project is dead...)

I looked at all the forks and tried the most recent. Hopefully it stays active for a while. He said it'll be in his next release but seeing is believing. :-)
