What units does curl use for bandwidth?

What units does curl use for bandwidth?

According to the source code it is KiB per second.

Here you can see the definition uses 1024 and not 1000

/* The point of this function would be to return a string of the input data,
   but never longer than 5 columns (+ one zero byte).
   Add suffix k, M, G when suitable... */
static char *max5data(curl_off_t bytes, char *max5)
{
#define ONE_KILOBYTE  CURL_OFF_T_C(1024)
#define ONE_MEGABYTE (CURL_OFF_T_C(1024) * ONE_KILOBYTE)
#define ONE_GIGABYTE (CURL_OFF_T_C(1024) * ONE_MEGABYTE)
#define ONE_TERABYTE (CURL_OFF_T_C(1024) * ONE_GIGABYTE)
#define ONE_PETABYTE (CURL_OFF_T_C(1024) * ONE_TERABYTE)

...

}

Here you can see the calculation is done in ms and then divided by 1000 to get seconds.

  /* Calculate the average speed the last 'span_ms' milliseconds */
  {
    curl_off_t amount = data->progress.speeder[nowindex]-
      data->progress.speeder[checkindex];

    if(amount > CURL_OFF_T_C(4294967) /* 0xffffffff/1000 */)
      /* the 'amount' value is bigger than would fit in 32 bits if
         multiplied with 1000, so we use the double math for this */
      data->progress.current_speed = (curl_off_t)
        ((double)amount/((double)span_ms/1000.0));
    else
      /* the 'amount' value is small enough to fit within 32 bits even
         when multiplied with 1000 */
      data->progress.current_speed = amount*CURL_OFF_T_C(1000)/span_ms;
  }
