progress bar during large transfers

at the moment, if you are transferring 1000 files from one host to another, you will get 1000 steps in the progress bar, letting you know how far along you are.

can you make an option where the progress is measured in bytes transferred, not files transferred?

frequently i copy three cds of info between machines ( oracle installs ) and the progress bar has three steps, disk1, disk2 and disk3. if the progress bar were to measure bytes transferred you would get a much better picture of where you were in the transfer.

cheers.
