Clarify that download rate is in bytes per second 

I found f918ec7ea2 but it is still not clear to anyone who hasn't read Issue #723 whether the limit is in bits or bytes.  This is doubly confusing because 1) ISPs usually advertise speeds in bits per second, and 2) lowercase "k" and "m" are often used in correlation with bits rather than bytes.
