File download progress not working

[aalblas]

We are very succesfully downloading/uploading small files (less than 1mb) but more recently we're trying to download larger files and seeing performance issues.

To understand this better, I'm trying to display the download progress of a large file, using the same method as for upload but it doesn't appear to be working. Calling:

file_manager.download('c:\test.zip','/test1.zip') do |bytes_copied, total_bytes, local_path, remote_path|
puts "#{bytes_copied} bytes of #{total_bytes} bytes copied";
end

Nothing gets printed though.

As a seperate issue, I can upload a 20MB file in about 30 seconds, but the download of the same file is taking approximately 4 minutes. Can anyone explain the reason for the difference in speed?

I'm also noticing that a file of about 7mb takes about 30 seconds to download, the 20mb file is taking significantly longer than the expected 1minute 30 seconds.

The downloader doesn't yield its current progress, unlike the uploader. Not sure why.
