When working with substantially large files, it can take some time to run the configuration. For instance, I'm running an 85MB file through right now and it has taken 8 minutes or so, but since I've got the upload occurring on node-submit (which allows users to know that the file is being uploaded), the node submission form is still in a "holding pattern" waiting to load the "completed" page.

Is there some way (other than continually refreshing the FTP's directory in an external FTP client) to track the % of the file that has been processed/stored on the remote server and transmit that back to the user in "real-time" or at the very least periodically some reassuring alert that lets them see whether there is an error or it is successfully transmitting?

Ideally, it would allow the node's completed page to load--and the status/alert box to show up on that subsequent page... perhaps something like the fielfield widget's leveraging of the php extension "uploadprogress"...

Unless there might already be another way to provide this sort of feedback?

Thanks.
