The basic HTML-form-submission upload system doesn't actually provide a good
way to do a progress bar for any individual file, which is probably why you
only see a progress bar to track how many files have been uploaded out of a
batch.

As noted in some comments above, we'll be able to do a progress bar _during_
each individual upload on many -- but not all -- browsers once chunked uploads
are supported on both the upload API and UploadWizard's front-end code. This
will upload the file in smaller pieces over multiple requests, which is both
more resilient to network errors (can simply reconnect & continue if any
individual chunk fails) and will be able to track the upload progress directly
from the JavaScript.
