In bash I can run time $(curl -L ...|bash) to find out the total time this script takes. Is there a way to get similar total information about the up/download traffic it generated?

Note that nethogs does not do what I need - it shows the traffic rates from time to time. I'd like the cummulative total of the traffic in/out.

Just keep the nethogs running.

You can change display modes by pressing M. The first default mode is kbps, after pressing M few times you can get total bytes.

Edit: added screenshots

KB/sec Total MB
