          With an HTTP download, the file size is provided by the HTTP response header's "Content-Length" field.



          For more info on the Content-Length field check out this StackOverflow question:



          What's the “Content-Length” field in HTTP header?



          As for viewing it in WireShark...




          Add "Content-Length" as a column:




          • Right-click on the "Content-Length" header in the packet details pane.

          • Choose "Apply as Column".
