For finding out that kind of information at a particular time, I you might want to consider deploying webtrisul. As far as i know, ntop will give you top talkers over the period its been running.
But I am sure if you look at the various graphs ntop provides and do some logical thinking, you may get what you are looking for. In practice, I think, a top consumer is rarely a one-off occurrence but rather a pattern (bittorrent etc) thus they will usually appear in your top 10 and then by looking at the history for the various hosts, you could make a reasonably accurate guess.
