There is a very similar question posted (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/849237/upload-progress-bar-in-php) That returns http://valums.com/ajax-upload/ as an example.

Due to its simplicity I'd also add this other one http://devpro.it/upload_progress/ they are both in php/javascript but I'm sure you can adapt it to your language of choice.

In general accurate upload report progress is a hard problem that requires server side support. Google for example offers a nice API for querying the reported progress. An example can be found on their original blog post
