The current implementation for byteFmt and kbFmt is using KiB(kibibyte) and MiB (mebibyte) are wrongly used in place of kB(kilobyte) and MB (megabyte).

The issue should be fixed in compatibility with the most common convension of softwares like the linux filesystem, chrome, firefox.

Evidences of the issue are present on the following ticket: globaleaks/globaleaks-whistleblowing-software#2044

A diffuse explaination is present on the wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte
