Do you want to know at the client-side as to how much data has been downloaded so far from the web-sites? Look at the size of your Temporary Internet files directory if you are using IE. But it won't give you the size of downloads done in other directories. If you have a download manager like Getright or Sun download manager then it should be easier, as long as their history is not cleared.
I am looking at software that will let me know how much internet bandwidth is being used for a particular website.
E.g. Assume I am using www.yahoo.com and hotmail.com for checking my emails and browsing. I wanted to know how much internet bandwith is being used for browsing yahoo.com and hotmail.com in separate report.
Is there any software that does this for me? I want to know how much MB I am using for yahoo.com and hot much of MB I am using hotmail.com
You can get a network monitor for your machine. It will record the IP addresses your machine goes to, and their domain names (if you ask for the domain names to be looked up).
Reports from the network monitor will give you exact amounts of bandwidth for each IP address. Statistics are gathered while the monitor is on.
You can also get some proxies (and firewalls) which will measure bandwidth, although if they give you reports by IP address, then they're likely to be more expensive.
Which OS are you on? If you are on a Windows server machine, then the Microsoft Network Monitor comes with the operating system. You can install it and turn it on for a day to see what your bandwidth is.
You have to install the Network Monitor separately -- it does not install by default with Windows. You have to have your Windows XP CD to install it from. These are the instructions from Microsoft for installing:
http://support.microsoft.c
and here are the Network Monitor instructions:
http://support.microsoft.c
Then you use the Network monitor tool, Start Capture, and use the Internet from your browser. You'll probably need to configure the Network Monitor to keep a very large .cap file, because there's a lot of data in typical day's browsing.
You can reduce the amount of network traffic you capture by specifying http protocol only, and possibly by identifying the IP addresses of the sites you want your use statistics for. However, sites like Yahoo have many IP addresses, so it might be difficult to specify the IP addresses just for Yahoo.

Usually we check Internet usage by analyzing the Web logs for the Web site. Analog and AWStats are both free packages which will do this:
http://www.analog.cx/index
http://www.awstats.org/
Either one will read the Web logs of all of the major Web servers, and give you a report of how many kb have been downloaded from a Web site. They will also give you basic reporting of how many people have been using the site, how many pages served, that sort of thing.
