Fine! Did not know that rsync can do --progress :)
BTW: Are there any generic "progress indicator" scripts or programs on the grml CD? Something to put into a pipe (e. g. between »dd if=/some/disk« and netcat) to see how much data flows through it? Anything from nice bars to just a KB/MB/GB counter would be nice.
bar
I found it in the grml repository and since then I'm using it to see the transfer progress of pipes. It's a very good tool!

Bar was originally written for the purpose of estimating the amount of time needed to transfer large amounts (many, many gigabytes) of data across a network. (Usually in an SSH/tar pipe.)
