    Net Meter is a freeware app which tells you how much you are downloading

    If you're by any chance on BT:

    I'm sure other ISP's provide similar services

    Get Net Meter.

    You don't want a download manager, you want something to keep track of Internet usage and these aren't exactly the same thing.

    For example should you like using uTorrent then "Internet Download Manager" isn't going to give you overall download stats (unless you use Internet Download Manager instead of uTorrent).
