I know from the output of wget's log file you can see duration a url is downloaded in.
However I need to get the duration it takes for the streaming content.

A file's a file's a file. Things like Youtube and the like work real hard to obscure where the actual URL comes from, though. The only even slightly reliable way I've found to figure that out is to set up your own proxy server, configure your web browser to use it, and watch the URLs it downloads for anything relevant. And even that sometimes doesn't work because when you try and download it by hand, you won't have the same cookies, etc.
