Should warns the user if the block download is out of date, thus new transaction doesn't show up yet. They should also be warned when bitcoin first started up.

As far as i understand the network protocol, clients are only informed about the existance of extra blocks in the chain by a 'headers' message, which includes at most 2000 extra blocks. So if you want a counter "55123/118009 blocks", i suppose you need to change the network protocol to somehow inform nodes about the length of the current block chain, before downloading all its headers.

sipa: The client doesn't need to talk to other clients. It could pull up data from bitcoincharts or some other place.

I don't think we want to default client to depend on a centralized service.
