You get the bytes loaded with yourClip.getBytesLoaded() and the time since the beginning of your movie with getTimer()…

For instance, you could have on the first frame of your movie:

```auto
time = getTimer();
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
  var elapsedTime = (getTimer() - time) / 1000; // to get it in seconds
  var kiloBytesLoaded = this.getBytesLoaded / 1024;
  var rate = kiloBytesLoaded / elapsedTime;
  trace (rate);
}

```

Something like that…
