Description Andreas Nilsson 2015-01-14 12:38:24 UTC
Couldn't find the WWW component anymore, so filing under the Libreoffice component, feel free to move to the right place.


So I tried to download Libreoffice from the website, but I had a hard time figuring out how big the download is. It says 230,677,187 bytes. How big is that? Is that 230 MB? Or is it 230 GB?

Hi Andreas,
WWW bugs have largely been closed and re-entered at Redmine by the infra team:

The prefixes 'Kilo', 'Mega', and 'Giga' refer to multipliers of one thousand, one million, and one billion (respectively). 230 million bytes is 230MB, so the download is approximately 230.7 MB

Search engines can often do the calculation for you:

I'll see if there's a reason these numbers aren't listed in MB on the website.

In the future, please direct this type of question to the Ask site:

I had also seen this change not so long ago and wanted to ask why it was changed. :D

Looks like it's a regression on the website. I've filed a bug on the infra tracker to address the problem:
