Description
In various parts of the GUI, KiB, MiB and GiB are counted as powers of 1000 instead of 1024, which I noticed when "Uploaded" for a torrent went straight from "999 MiB" to "1 GiB".

Agreed. This has been fixed in [3719] although only for trunk and the 1.0.0_RC branch. The 0.5.x branch is pretty much defunct at this point.

In retrospect, the "problem" is actually rounding done from the format string(s). The previously posted patch solves it, but whether it should be included depends on whether the intention is to show numbers very close to the next "unit" as being exactly 1.0 of that "unit". Personally, I think it should be shown as 1000-1023 of the smaller "unit" before it changes.
(Where "unit" refers to KiB, MiB and GiB)
