Well, if you were just talking about the huge download... I might ask if
the software you are using (or could use) would tell you the information
you want to know.

If so, I would ask, is there a CLI tool you can use that would also tell
you the information you want while downloading the file rather than a GUI
tool you currently use to download the file?  Run the tool in a screen
session, and when you ssh in, you could reattach to that screen session
and get the info you want to know.
