You can setup a javascript indicator for your upload

Check out this:
http://zentara.net/jsupload.html

I hacked a Perl version of a PHP uploader script.
I havn't messed with them in awhile, so YMMV.
I have a 100k limit on the script, so it may finish before
it can report percentages. You can download it, and
experiment for yourself.

You really waste upload bandwidth when you use these
(except for the pure javascript version). Because you need to setup
a feedback cgi, which shares the bandwidth with the upload.
The javascript one is just an indicator, so it consumes no bandwidth.

One written in Tk or Gtk , is your best bet, unless you are forced
to use a browser. You can feed the output from LWP, or libCurl
to a Progressbar.
