Use a better ftp client?

Try lftp, which is part of FC, or ncftp, which is in Extras.  Both are CLI 
clients, and both are much more featureful than plain ftp.  "Batch mode" 
clients include wget and curl.  gftp is one GUI client.  You can also FTP 
with Firefox or Mozilla, and there are interesting ways to transfer files 
in the various file managers (Nautilus in GNOME and whatever it is in 
KDE) that I haven't really played with much.  All of them will show 
progress bars.
