It depends on how you want to download. Also, why? Doesn't your downloaded file size tell you that? Or, you need a sum during session, certain period of time, what. What's the requirements for the code? What else should it do?

We need more info to help you.

But if it is basic information you seek. System.Net.NetworkInformation Namespace[^] is a good place to start and under IPv4InterfaceStatistics [^] you can find info like BytesSent and BytesReceived.

Example:

C#

if (NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable())
{
  NetworkInterface[] interfaces = NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces();
  foreach (NetworkInterface iface in interfaces)
  {
    if (iface.OperationalStatus == OperationalStatus.Up && iface.NetworkInterfaceType != NetworkInterfaceType.Loopback)
    {
      IPv4InterfaceStatistics stats = iface.GetIPv4Statistics();
      long bytesReceived = stats.BytesReceived;
      long bytesSent = stats.BytesSent;
      Console.WriteLine("Network: " + iface.Description + " (" + iface.Name + "), has sent: " + bytesSent + " bytes and received: " + bytesReceived + " bytes");
    }
  }
}
