If you are transferring from A to B and can find the size of 
the file at A and poll the size at B you can display progress.
OTOH if that is not available you can still use a thread to 
indicate that *something* is happening even if you don't 
know when it will stop. Thus a threaded approach works 
for providing some kind of user feedback even if nothing 
else.
