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!

Description: Show information about a data transfer
 Bar is a simple tool to process a stream of data and print a display
 for the  user  on stderr showing (a) the amount of data passed, (b) the
 throughput of the data  transfer,  and, if the total size of the data
 stream is known, (c) estimated time remaining, percent complete, and a
 progress bar.
 .
 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.)
