getting filesizes..

hey, i just wanted to know how big my download folder is, so i tiped -ls l, the output said it has 4096bit or something, but it schould have something abouth 100mbs, 4096 is standing by more folders than one, isn't it possible to see sizes of folders? only of files?

du -sh
the h option will give the output in kilobytes or megabytes
