This is a task that can only be done with netflow, ACL packet counters 
and what not.  If you are hosting the content that is meant to be free, 
you can take the NAS accounting totals and subtract whatever you see 
(for example) in your Apache access logs.

Depending on what you are trying to make free, it might be effectively 
cheaper for your organisation to just give people a credit quota each 
month (say able to download 4GB before charging begins).
