A: 

The best you could hope for is some sort of packet monitor that ties the packets to a particular process ID. Even given that, you wouldn't be very well able to track an individual download, but rather the entire throughput of a single process (each packet of data coming in or out).

yeah, and that would bring the problem what traffic to consider to be a download + doing some kind of hooking in c# of `winsock` is some kind of `high flight` code, it's more easy to mess with that in C
