-v should do.

Example:
> rsync -z -v gcc-4.3.3.tar a
gcc-4.3.3.tar

sent 78,192,949 bytes  received 31 bytes  3,191,550.20 bytes/sec
total size is 405,166,080  speedup is 5.18
> ll gcc-4.3.3.tar a
-rw-r--r-- 1 405166080 2009-01-27 16:48 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 405166080 2009-01-26 11:02 gcc-4.3.3.tar

You can even see the compression rate :-)

Ciao
