Let's try again. Instead of scp, how about downloading a file from a 
website that says the file is X MB but after it has been downloaded, 
Nautilus reports Y MB.

No dismantling of the age old faulty convention of 1024 multiples across

teaching with Ubuntu that kilo/mega/giga are 1024 multiples only to find 
that Nautilus don't quite agree but ls does.
