Citing from the NetBSD progress(1) manpage:
NAME
progress -- feed input to a command, displaying a progress bar
SYNOPSIS
progress [-ez] [-f file] [-l length] [-p prefix] cmd [args ...]
DESCRIPTION
The progress utility opens a pipe to cmd and feeds an input stream into
it, while displaying a progress bar to standard output. If no filename
is specified, progress reads from standard input. Where feasible,
progress fstat(2)s the input to determine the length, so a time estimate
can be calculated.
If no length is specified or determined, progress simply displays a count
of the data and the data rate.
See http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?progress for the full page.

It's part of NetBSD:
