Wrong filesize shown (2 GB for a file of 1.079.192 bytes)

[BurninLeo]

Hello,

I recently wondered that a file that should be around 1 GB was shown as "2 GB" in the FileZilla Client v3.3.4.1. After downloading from the Linux/Debian server, the file also had "2 GB" on the local disc - according to FileZilla Client. However the Windows Explorer is quite sure that it actually only has 1.02 GB.

If I change to more than 0 decimals in the settings, FileZilla shows a size of 1.03 GB. Therefore I guess FileZilla rounds up the filesize in a suboptimal way.

This is by design. File sizes should never be rounded down, as the size of a file determines its cost in terms of storage, traffic and so on.

I do agree however that the default of 0 decimal places is suboptimal, so the next version of FileZilla will default to 1.

Sorry, I did not mean to set this issue on "high" priority - my fault.

Other software seems not to consistently share the principle of rounding up, however, the argumentation is sensible. Your solution to set one decimal per defaults seems a good one to prevent further irritation :)
