Hi,

Kentico CMS is currently not providing any progress bar however we will consider adding this feature to one of next version. In the meantime you might want to use some third-party tool.

To your second question - you can manually set Connection Timeout in your web.config to some higher value which will fit your needs. Here is an example:

<add name="CMSConnectionString" connectionString="Persist Security Info=False;database=DB;server=ABC;user id=sa;password=123;Current Language=English;Connection Timeout=240;" />



Best regards,
