Pipe Viewer
pv (Pipe Viewer) is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of data through a pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an estimate of how long it will be until completion.

Exceedingly useful tool
Makes my trivial little shell-script-based installer look pretty (while using bfr makes it *fast*). Only wishlist item I have is fixing up the curses functionality to work a bit better when around the bottom of the screen and in like corner cases... but then, maybe that's already done by the time you're reading this.
