Show total progress on rsync

I'm trying to get Rsync to show total progress of the job using

rsync -a -v -h -i --partial -r --no-inc-recursive --info=progress2 alex@RemoteLocation LocalLocation

But I think it doesn't explore and compare all the files to be able to determine what files need to be replaced and how long it'll take.

It just starts copying files. Looks like this in the terminal:

>f+++++++++ Simpsons [cz]/aaa.mkv 1.64G 0% 439.17kB/s 3408:32:25

But there's only little bit of data to be copied but it is calculating the time as if it was copying everything, not only changed or extra files as it should with the -a option

It can't be done unfortunately. rsync doesn't even walk the entire source tree for large trees before it starts transferring, so it has no idea what the total is.
