Thanks for this, the other answers result in a %age that keeps going up and down!

Not quite perfect yet, as the percentage is always the ratio of the current transfer to the total amount of data. So if one transfer is interrupted at 40%, the next transfer will start at 0% and finish at 60%, which is a little confusing. Nevertheless, this is a lot clearer than the accepted answer, in my opinion.
