Hello. There are a coreutils package with "advanced" cp and mv that can show 
the progress bar on file operations like copy/move. 
I installed it on my system and extracted the cp and mv binaries. 

hoest@hoest:~$ which mv
/usr/local/bin/mv
hoest@hoest:~$ which cp
/usr/local/bin/cp

You need to place the 2 binaries in that locations. After, put this 2
aliases in your .bashrc:

alias cp='/usr/local/bin/cp -g'
alias mv='/usr/local/bin/mv -g'

'-g' is the argument that tells to them command to show the progress
bar. Hope it works

** Attachment added: "Compiled binaries with the progress bar included"
