Well I guess it makes only sense for transfers which last quite long. In that 
case the user leaves the PC (or switches to another desktop e.g.) and wonders 
if the file-copying dialog has disappeared 

- because of a crash 
- or because it is just hidden in a taskbar or behind a window
- or because the download/large filetransfer was successful

such transfers don't need to be non-local (although most of them will probably 
be downloads).
