When I copy large volumes of files it takes a long time and I don't know if everything's going right. If it's many small files, I can set -v and see every file copied, but how to check copying progress when I copy one large file?

That's nice, any reason why this is inferior to cp?

If no errors are showing up on the terminal then there's nothing to worry about.

If a quiet terminal makes you nervous then congratulations: you have OCD. Use lsof -c /bin/cp.
