Download Package Management Issues Resolved in 2021.05

The following issue was resolved for the management of download packages in the 2021.05 release.

Size of Files in Download Packages Now in Binary Format

Previously, the size of files in a download package on the Downloads > List Downloads page did not match the size of the downloaded files. In this release, file sizes in the End-User Portal are now calculated using a binary conversion so that the raw byte size is divided by a power of 2 rather than a power of 10, as used previously. For example, with this conversion 1 KB now represents 1024 bytes, rather than the 1000 bytes previously calculated. As a result, the Downloads > List Downloads page now shows the size of files in the download package in binary format, the same format used for downloaded-file sizes, thus eliminating the file-size discrepancies.

Note that the Reporter still calculates file sizes using a power of 10 so that 1 KB represents 1000 bytes.
