well... using Fred's neat rsync invocation...
#!/bin/bash
#
# usage: <thiscript> <File_to_copy>
#
size=`ls -l $1 | awk '{print $5}'`
# 70K/sec = 4.2 Mb per min.
time=$(( $size / 4200000 ))
echo "This should be done in about $time minutes."
echo "Did you start the rsync server st the other end? "
echo -n "Press enter to continue."

rsync -avz --progress rsync://server/$1
