How big is the buffer ByteArray and where are you writing the file? If the write can happen fast enough, no Progress events are fired. From the link you posted:
"In some cases, progress events are not received. For example, when the file being transmitted is very small or the upload or download happens very quickly a progress event might not be dispatched."
