You may want to check gnunetd's logs, they may contains some more info.

$ ls -l /var/lib/GNUnet/data/shared/ 

this should list all indexed files (symlinked if possible, otherwise copies).

Well, this only happens at the beginning -- we've so far done zero progress 
(but spend some time), so the way the math works out is that it would take 
infinitely long time to finish.  An alternative would be to just not print an 
ETA.

Actually, IIRC there is a text view for logs still in the code, but there is 
no way to open a window to show it at the moment.  I guess we could move that 
widget into the general tab.  As for the status bar, it always shows the last 
LOG'ed message.  What we may consider doing is implement a timeout that 
empties it if nothing is logged for N minutes.
