    I think you can't get this information for the moment.

In your case, file transfer is made by RES_WriteObj() (cache_response.c)
with a call to WRK_Sendfile() (cache_pool.c). If you look into thins
function :

                if (WRK_Flush(w) == 0 &&
                    sendfile(*w->wfd, fd, &off, len) != len)
                        w->werr++;

The number of bytes copied (returned by sendfile) is not saved :(

With a little patch you can save this value and use it for statistics.
