You can do it through 'Ctrl+Alt+Delete' in Windows..

Just click the Networking tab, then go to View, Select Columns.. then check Bytes Sent and Bytes Received

Then go to Options and check Cumulative Data.

Keeps a running total! Until you go to Options and choose Reset

That'll work fine for a single machine.. unless of course you don't use Windows XP?
