ohhh one particular file, that makes it easier hmm, thats a tough one. my first couple of thoughst are that t might be server specific, like you'd have to develop a plug in for a server lik...

yeah im more or less dealing with a group of around 350 with differing connections. I want to know when the user is downloading the updates, BASED on their connection at the begining of the dlownload, approx how long it would take to do so. Throwing around ideas here and we are trying to do something through a batch file or script, but im not sure where to go with it.

well logging the initial timestamp of the file request is easy, just make a webpage that logs the access for the file exclusively, as far as the connectivity, i have no idea

yeah, that's a good way of doing it. have your script output the time the file was started downloading, and then the time it finished

now the next step is the really tricky one: subtract the time it started from the time it ended to get the elapsed time.
