I'm not sure I get the problem (correct me if I'm wrong!), but I'll
give it a go.
It sounds like you're not putting the "stop timer" code in the
callback for the request.
In jQuery, I would do like this:
var startTime = ( new Date() ).getTime();
$.get("url_to_exact_size_file.html", function(){
alert("Callback says the request took " + ( ( new Date() ).getTime()
- startTime ) + " milliseconds" );
});
Hope that helps!
