Title:
  The transfer progress indication is suboptimal

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I move files to an external device the progress bar is almost
  useless.

  Example:
  1) I begin to move two files (1 GB each) to an SD card.
  2) Progress bar is moving at over 100 MB/s until it reaches 1 GB.
  3) It's 1 GB for some time before it moves quickly to 2 GB and remains there for some time before the transfer is complete.

  The problem is, as I understand it, the file is sent to a cache and
  that is the action shown. This is quite wrong as the progress bar is
  there to provide information about how much time/data there is left
  until the action is complete.

  I am running an updated version of 11.10.
