What I do is use the free NetActivity program from 
www.metaproducts.com.  Among the things it can do is report the number of 
bytes downloaded, so, for example, if you want to know the weight of a web 
page (i.e. the total number of bytes downloaded, including graphics, script 
files, etc.), you just have to (a) clear the browser's cache (e.g. 
Temporary Internet files), (b) tell NetActivity to start reporting,, then 
go to the web page with a browser and look at what NetActivity reports.
