It's the same reason a DVD-R claims it can hold 4.7 GB, when in fact, it only holds 4.37 GB. Toungue

The kilo = 1000 does not apply to computers , so a lot of computer companies and stores end up using false advertising to some extent....

Besides, for me it's just easier to use hex. This is how I calculate bytes:

1 KB = 0x400 (1024)
1 MB = 0x400 * 0x400 (1024 * 1024)
...

and so on Smile

Since Azureus is using the 1024-version I'm pretty much being forced the hard way.

Poll: How do you calculate bytes transformation?
	Using 1000 (makes easier to calculate since it'll use only zeros)
	1024 (I want the exactly result)
