Joel,

if you do not know a priori how many files you are going
to transfer, the progress bar is not the right control for you,
because it will never show the correct information.
Consider using a simple label, where you can show the
number of files transferred up to that moment.
If it is going to take a long time, it is also better to change
the cursor shape. Windows comes with a lot of cool
animated cursors that are meant for this purpose.
