Description
🚀 The feature
Add a progress bar to remote DataPipes that will be shown in the terminal to display the status of the operation. We can potentially use tqdm or rich.
Previous discussion comes from this comment by @pmeier .
Motivation, pitch
For DataPipes that download data from a remote server, it is useful to have a progress bar to show the download progress so that the users can know if the process is working and what the estimated remaining time is. Relevant DataPipes may be HttpReader, GDriveReader, iopath, fsspec and S3 DataPipes.
There may be usages for other types of DataPipes as well.
Alternatives
There are many ways to display the status of the operations to users. Feel free to suggest other ideas.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the prior discussion linked in the issue and the implementations of HttpReader, GDriveReader, iopath, fsspec, and S3 DataPipes. Decide which remote operations and progress-bar library are in scope; done should mean users see meaningful terminal progress and remaining-time information during supported downloads, with the relevant behavior tested.
