Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
One of the main features of this app is ability to provide your resources to help network perform better. But user have no visual indication of this process. He can't know if he was able to help someone to view some videos or not.

Describe the solution you'd like
App should show at least how much data was uploaded to peers. Per session and per installation.
Single number (MiB, GiB) should be fine, charts would be even better.

More detalized approach is to show such info per every shared video.
For example, near every list item at Library tab.
In such case user can analyze which videos are most popular and find more similar content to share.

Describe alternatives you've considered
It is possible to watch network statistics with third party programs like resmon, Process Explorer, DU Meter.
But their data is harder to analyze and it lacks detalization.

Huge +1! This seems even more important in the absence of LBC compensation for helping the network. Currently, the reward is much more abstract, and this would help reinforce what reward there is.

I created this issue on sdk which this would depend on.
