I mostly like this, but can we please just use "MB/kB" instead of "MiB/KiB"?

I hope it was some kind of joke on crazy EU bureaucrats that just wasn't caught in time.

I also get the glitch, ie

	remote: Total 118 (delta 86), reused 112 (delta 86)iB/s

where that "iB/s" remains as garbage from the previous line: we use hardcoded vt100 sequences for colorization, and nobody has complained yet, so maybe we should just do the same for "reset and clear to end of line"?

Or maybe just add a few spaces. Using kB/MB instead of KiB/MiB will make it a few less characters to overwrite too.
