Regards At the time of writing the current block is 141957, your client is up to date. Backup your computer and test the backups. Disks fail and you don't want them to take your bitcoins with them.

The client doesn't show you how many blocks there are left to download but you can check the current number of blocks yourself at http://bitcoinwatch.com for example.
