If you mean "how long it had taken for someone to download a file from your
site" then yes. You need to handle file download links yourself. Thus all
your download links would have to be of the form:
http://www.domain.com/download.php?file=somefile
Then your download.php would be in psuedo-code:
<?
retrieve filename from URL;
look up file details (size) in filesystem;
start a timer;
output the appropriate HTTP headers;
read and output the contents of file;
stop timer;
calculate elapsed time;
?>
