Unfortunately, there's no elegant way to track the progress of
uploads/downloads. A workaround could be to "stat" the target file
at certain intervals and use the results.

Besides, there's actually a ticket on the subject
( http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac/ticket/20 ), so I should work
on this when I can get some time for it.

If you use a distinct instance of FTPHost for each thread, that
should be safe.

I hope this helps a bit. Feel free to ask if you have any more
questions.
