G''day all, I have a question regarding received data from the internet, is there a C++ function that returns the amount of downloaded (and uploaded if possible) bytes since your connection? If so, I''d be ever so grateful if you told me the information, Thanks!

No. C++ knows nothing about Internet. Your operating system might, but without more information about it, I can only suggest you check its documentation.

Err,
This is a little vage, but does this help.

There is no straight function to return that data.

If your talking all data to and from your PC since start up (or connection), Then I know of no way under windows.
Under linux you could use ifconfig from a command line and pars the results.

If its just from your own program then you could just keep a count of how many byets you write and read from the socket.
This is if your doing networking the basic way and actually using sockets.

just my 2 cents.

Thanks guys, btw, I meant bytes since connection.

I''m on WinXP Pro but if its a bit advanced like that, it definately isn''t for a newbie programmer like myself lol.

Thanks again people!
