Description shirish agarwal 2007-08-27 13:48:08 UTC 
This is from https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gwget2/+bug/135065

Description below :-

gwget uses the old decimal prefix (base 10) which leaves room for ambiguity while the newer IEC standard (base2) is more accurate & consistent. Please look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix for guidance

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
