Yes, "total" as in both directions.

Getting is downloading. Sending is uploading.

Would it? When is the file remote then? If you get a file you get a remote
file and transfer it to become local. When you upload a file you send a local
file that ends up being remote.

I like the words "upload" and "download" since they indicate a direction of
transfer.
