For the file in question:
The FLM ed2k link has it as 1.42Gb
my eMule client has it as 1.42 GB
mediainfo has it as 1.42 GiB
pixeldrain has it as 1.53 GB
Windows File Explorer has it as 1,494,164 KB
As mentioned by @Night457, the FLM website uses the wrong size units when rendering the ed2k link.

It is recommended that website technical administrators modify and display the correct units according to SI prefix, IEC 60027-2 and JEDEC Standard 100B.01 (Deprecated) to reduce confusion and trouble.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix

There are actually three main criteria there:

`SI` - The most widely adopted and recommended standards. (Decimal) 👍👍👍
`IEC` - Binary standards. (Recommended for Windows users as alternatives) 👍👍
`JEDEC` - The root of all evil, conflicts with `SI` and causes various confusions (Deprecated). 👎👎👎 :evil:

You are happy if we use "1.42 GiB" instead of "1.42 Gb"?

Yes, I have no problem. And this is also consistent with mediainfo.

Using either the SI or IEC standards is good, clear and without ambiguity.
