I would guess that it's quite unperfomant the way you do it. You should at leat read and write bigger chunks (1K to 8k are common values.
There is another problem: Are you shure that flash is using a simple download and won't use things from http 1.1 like byte range requests (and won't do it in the next version). To implement this, you would have to implement much more code.
