Download Logger Program

I want to create a program that monitors what you download and tells you how much you have downloaded and the sizes, etc. But I don't no how to. Is it possible, and if so, how would you go about doing it?

I did it by installing FireFox.

I don't think that you can make a program that monitors downloads, made by another program, with rev.
You can however make a downloader with rev, an app that you use to download stuff. You'd need to copy every download to that app though...

Or, if the browser you use is set to download to a specific folder with every
download, then you can monitor that directory, keep track of the files and
file sizes etc using Rev.

Another note. The AltBrowser plugin (I think it's considered a plugin)
I believe has the ability to do this.

The plugin gives you the ability to create your own web browser using
Rev. And the plugin does allow quite a bit of control over the browser
that is embedded on your Rev stack. So it most likely has a function
that tells you the file size, and at what byte the download is currently.

Only drawback is that it is a bit pricey.
