using promiscuous mode to tabulate network statistics

I have four computers all plugged into a hub and I'd like to see which one (well, which IP address) is sending / receiving the most data. To do this, I was thinking I could just install a package that would tabulate such statistics using promiscuous mode. Wireshark can sniff packets via promiscuous mode but if it can be used in this manner, I'm unsure of how. I'm also not interested in real time statistics - I just want to know how much data has been sent / received since the analysis program has been running. Any ideas?
