Yes you are confusing nomeclature which is VERY specific.
Speed is measure in passage of data in a time period. Thus it is 73Kb/s or
73KB/s.
73Kb/s or 73KB/s are NOT the same.
73Kb/s = 73 kilobit per second.
73KB/s = 73 kilobyte per second. Since there are 8 bits to a byte, 73KB/s is
faster than
73Kb/s.
Same nomenclaure problem with "The file-size is probably around 146Mb"
The file isn't in megabits it is measured in megabytes. Thus it is 146MB in
size.
{ In all actuality it is more like 188MB large }
