[ forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/352018 ]

I am using nautilus on a regular basis to upload files to a webdav 
server (https). Usually it's only one tarball of a few megabytes.

nautilus would show progress bar as shown in 
screenieNautilusFalseProgress.png from the start whereas in reality it 
would take about five minutes to transfer the file. It appears that the 
progress is calculated based on the number of files rather than the file 
sizes and transfer speed.

Secondly, nautilus has redraw problems and sometimes blocks the whole 
desktop (not just other nautilus windows, but say a firefox window as 
well).

It would be great if this could be improved as it presents as major 
usability issue when an application appears to be hanging for minutes.
