I would like to see --report-bps. It explains itself, well, at least better 
than --bps which could be anything.

To regard the current question of Fernando Cassia <address@hidden> (bug-
wget 5.6.2012) (Is there any way to make wget report download speed in Kbps 
not MBps at the end of the transfer?):

--report-bps replaces --bit
--report-[gmkn]bps would respect the user's demand for explicitly gbps, mbps 
and kbps, with nbps = plain bps without giga, mega or kilo.

What do you think ?
