No, I don't reset the "download_bytes" for each transfer. It reset the 
"download_bytes" before transfer start.
The "download_bytes" is increase in rx_handler_dl_image function.

Transfer I mean here is a usb request, which trying to transfer 
EP_BUFFER_SIZE at one time.
In my test case, sometime it transfer less than EP_BUFFER_SIZE in a usb 
request. So, it cause dot won't print the dot, and seems stuck. However, 
it will finish transfer after some time.
