Hey, I wrote that blurb (okay, rather self-consciously) but "simple and attractive" is all I could think of. Please de-commercialize it. --Ed Poor
Does anyone know why it's called "Cute"? --CalicoKat
Mangled Units of Transmission Speed[edit]
Can anyone explain what units CuteFTP uses for "Speed" - I see "kbs" and "mbs" in the CuteFTP 8 "Queue Window" for example, but these are not valid units. "kbs" suggests "kilo-byte seconds" or "kilo-bit seconds" ... but both are nonsense units (should be either kbps or kb/s). Similarly, "mbs" suggests "milli-byte seconds" or "milli-bit seconds" which is doubly nonsense - both because it is a nonsense unit and also because (even if they mean mbps or mb/s) it is a ridiculously small unit. I realize that they probably mean "Mega" rather than "milli" - but then they should use capital "M".
"Baud" used to be used universally for data transmission rates, and that is, at least, unambiguous.
This is all very sloppy and, of course, does not reflect well on GlobalSCAPE.
