I have no experience with it, you might try pv
$ man pv
PV(1) User Manuals PV(1)
NAME
pv - monitor the progress of data through a pipe
SYNOPSIS
pv [OPTION] [FILE]...
pv [-h|-V]
DESCRIPTION
pv allows a user to see the progress of data through a
pipeline, by giving information such as time elapsed,
percentage completed (with progress bar), current throughput
rate, total data transferred, and ETA.
To use it, insert it in a pipeline between two processes, with
the appropriate options. Its standard input will be passed
through to its standard output and progress will be shown on
standard error.
pv will copy each supplied FILE in turn to standard output (-
means standard input), or if no FILEs are speci‐ fied just
standard input is copied. This is the same behaviour as cat(1).
A simple example to watch how quickly a file is transferred using nc(1):
pv file | nc -w 1 somewhere.com 3000
