Persson Queue Plugin - job progress inspection

Hello,

I'm working on an app which needs to manage a number of large file
transfers (gigs of full-HD video files) on a periodic basis, and am
planning to implement this via some sort of job queue system with curl-
based workers taking the activity offline from the browser. I had been
planning to use Gearman, but upon discovering the Queue plugin I've
been investigating that Beanstalk-based approach.

My question is about inspecting the progress of the individual jobs. I
would like to be able to have a page with feedback on how the jobs are
progressing, along with a progress percentage for each file's
download. I haven't been able to find any info on how one would get
any kind of data back from a worker mid-job, whether in the context of
David's plugin, or Beanstalk in general. It looks as though this is
more straightforward in Gearman.

Can anyone shed any insight? Any input on how hard it would be to add
Gearman support to the Queue plugin?

thanks

-eric
