Feature Request: Option to display speed in MB/s instead of Mbps

It would be useful to have an option to toggle the displayed download and upload speeds between Mbps (megabits per second) and MB/s (megabytes per second).

Mbps makes sense when testing Internet connections, but MB/s is often more useful when OpenSpeedTest is being used to test LAN performance, particularly between a PC and a NAS or file server. File transfers in Windows, macOS and most NAS interfaces are normally displayed in MB/s, so being able to use the same unit would make the results easier to compare directly with real-world file transfer speeds.

Ideally this could be:

  • A toggle in the OpenSpeedTest interface: Mbps / MB/s
  • An optional setting to choose the default unit
  • A Docker/environment variable to set the server-wide default

The conversion is straightforward: MB/s = Mbps ÷ 8.

Thanks for considering it.
