With an HTTP download, the file size is provided by the HTTP response header's "Content-Length" field.
For more info on the Content-Length field check out this StackOverflow question:
What's the “Content-Length” field in HTTP header?
As for viewing it in WireShark...
Add "Content-Length" as a column:
- Right-click on the "Content-Length" header in the packet details pane.
- Choose "Apply as Column".
