hi everyone,

I don't know much about about other types of downloads except for ftp downloads. By the way you can use the below function as a way to get file sizes

import java.net.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;
import sun.net.ftp.*;
import sun.net.*;

int getfilesize(FtpClient client, String filename){

//This function tries to get the file size of the currently
//uploaded or downloaded file

String str = "", token;
int c, index = 0;
char ch;
 
try
{
//The try statement is to try to catch any errors thrown by 
//the Java input and output

                   TelnetInputStream lst = client.list();
                    filename = filename.toLowerCase();

while(true)
{
            c = lst.read();
             ch = (char) c;
if((c < 0) || (ch == '\n'))
{
          str = str.toLowerCase();

if(str.indexOf(filename) >= 0)
{

              StringTokenizer tk = new StringTokenizer(str);

while(tk.hasMoreTokens())
{
                token = tk.nextToken();

if(index == 4)
{
//The try statement is to try to catch any errors thrown by 
//the Java input and output

try
{
            return Integer.parseInt(token);
}
//The catch statement is to try to catch any errors 
//thrown by the Java input and output
//by using the NumberFormatException constant

catch(NumberFormatException e)
{
        return -1;
}

}

          index++;

}

        str = "";

}

if(c <= 0)
{ 
        break;
}

       str += ch;
}

       return -1;

}

}
//The catch statement is to try to catch any errors
//thrown by the Java input and output
//by using the Exception constant

catch(Exception e1)
{
System.out.println("File size unknown");
}

       return -1;
}

I tried the function and it works and i hope it helps you. The function returns the current downloaded size of the file.

Please let me know what think of this function

Yours Sincerely

Richard West
