How is it possible to monitor the volume of uploads and downloads occuring over the various network interfaces in a computer?

Sure. If you are using an open operating system like Linux, you can find out a great deal of information via the /proc filesystem, including the status of network devices and traffic figures.
If you are using a closed operating system like Windows, well, I guess there's always the Windows API and JNI.
