It would be great if Plex Sync would display the current transfer speed, or even an estimated time to completion.

&nbsp;

I'm traveling in Southeast Asia right now, and I find myself often at the last minute before getting on a plane trying to sync an episode or two. I think in this case, more info would definitely be helpful, as it would allow me to know if I should even bother, move to a different network, switch to cellular data, etc...

&nbsp;

What do you think?

The estimated size of the synced content on disk would be great to know as well. While disk space on mobile devices is growing, many still have little storage space, so knowing ahead of time that the selected items will occupy _n_ amount of disk space would be very handy.

> Hello, Is it possible for display the sync speed in download and sync list. It’s difficult to ascertain if a download has stalled or not just by the current status indicators.
