There is a --progress rsync switch which gives you an idea of the number
of files transferred and the progress of the current transfer.  I wrote
a Perl Tk front-end to rsync to sync my notebook to my backup system
which actually has a progress bar.  I am glad to share the code if
anyone is interested.
