First, I'm not sure what you mean by "bandwidth indicator"?

I just dragged a 4GB file in Dolphin to my NFS Mounted NAS.  A little circle popped into the systray area and clicking on it brings up a "Copying" box with information about how much has been copied and what the current transfer rate is.  This goes along for a few minutes and then finally a popup comes from dolphin indicating the transfer is complete.

Similar set up.  Quad i5 CPU doing nothing much with 8GB of ram.  Same F20/KDE.  I am running a newer version of the kde-plasma-nm stuff ....
