 Gurgle has this bandwidth line in its descriptor:
 {{{
 bandwidth 12582912 52428800 10079609
 }}}

 That 52428800 means that Ian wrote "50 MBytes" in his torrc file.

 But Atlas, when you hover over the advertised bandwidth, says that Ian set
 his burst to 52.43MB/s.

 It would seem that Atlas should divide by 1024*1024, rather than dividing
 by a million, when telling us the bandwidth numbers.

 (Also, technically burst is measured in MB, not in MB/s.)
