Bug description

When sending lage files from one machine to another, the progress bar is only displayed on the sender, but not on the receiver side.

Steps to reproduce

Send a large file from one machine to another.

Expected behavior

The progress bar is shown at the sender as well on the receiver side, so both have a visual representation of the speed and progress of the transfer.

Additional information

You may consider it as a feature, but as this behaviour is soo expectable and even already available for the sender, i consider it as a bug, as it should be a very basic default feature, as this is basically available on every transfer you experience in any application.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by tracing the existing sender-side progress display and the receiver-side file-transfer handling; done means a large transfer shows progress and speed on both machines, with the behavior verified by reproducing the reported steps.
