While reading on some blogger’s blog, found this cool tips and tricks, it is pretty interesting. Thumbs up to geek00L 
It is very useful for copying a large file. This command below will show you the copy progress and it will not see it with a cp command.
rsync --progress -v SRC DST
Below is a first example: -
[root@localhost root]# rsync --progress -v someimage.img.gz /tmp
someimage.img.gz
63780138 100% 53.23MB/s 0:00:01
wrote 63788015 bytes read 36 bytes 42525367.33 bytes/sec
total size is 63780138 speedup is 1.00
If you would like more stats, below is a second example: -
[root@localhost root]# rsync --progress --stats -v someimage.img.gz /tmp
someimage.img.gz
63780138 100% 77.74MB/s 0:00:00
