Some columns which contain numbers should be aligned by right side:

Size
Downloaded
Remaining
ETA
Downloaded speed
Upload speed

I think it will not be hard to do. If sledgehammer999 approves this improvement, I'll try do it.

Why? Is there an expectation for numbers to be right-aligned in GUIs?

In uTorrent such fields is right-aligned. In Microsoft Excel too.

There is no standard as such, merely a convention. For spreadsheet or database applications numeric values are commonly right aligned to create a 'gap' between the numbers in the columns, so that it does not appear as if the right column numbers are a continuation of the numbers in the left column.

Right alignment makes numbers comparison easy.

For example compare
12 356
123 478

and
12 356
123 478

But it works when weight of number is equal. In case of qBittorrent when the ending can be different (KB, MB, GB) it does not work. So... that is just my favour

Of course they do, that is why 'right aligned numerical values' is the convention when dealing arrays of numeric values in western languages using the Arabic numeral system.

But on the other hand the vertical columns in the qBitTorrent transfer list have absolutely no bearing on the values above and below so why do you need to compare them?

I know, you cannot compare values in columns of qBittorrent by size of text, but right aligned numeric values are looking more... organized... and it is easy to read. You can compare that in Excel.
