preloader question

[Weebbo2000]

k... i've seen this discussed in one thread before, but they reffered to a previous posting i couldn't find.
i need a preloader that determines the connection speed of the remote computer.
i know it's done by dividing bytesLoaded to the number of seconds that have passed.
all clear till now...but...how do i determine bytesLoaded?
is there a function or something?
