The headers I mentioned earlier are easy to send using PHP's header() 
function.

If I'm creating a large CSV file that I want the user to save to disk, 
and I want the browser to display meaningful download status, I'd do 
something like:

<?PHP
// $data contains a big string of comma-separated-value text
header('Content-type: text/csv');
header('Content-length: ' . strlen($data)); // if I was passing through 
some file on disk, i'd use filesize($someFile)
header('Content-disposition: attachment;filename="data.csv"');
echo $data
?>

For upload progress bars, swfupload, mentioned by Jon, works very well 
(usually).  There's a fork of it that does some extra useful stuff.  
Read about it here: http://linebyline.blogspot.com/index.html?rn=1150
