bufferedreader help

this is the setup for this part of my code:

BufferedInputStream in =

new BufferedInputStream(

new FileInputStream(<path>));

BufferedOutputStream out =

new BufferedOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());

Why wont this code read the data in increments?:

int len = 0;

while ((len = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {

out.write(buffer, 0, len);

System.out.print("#");

}.......

I figured out this code is the same as writing:

int len = in.read(buffer);

out.write(buffer, 0, len);

But I would like to write some code that can read the data in increments so that I can print a progress bar. What do I need to do?
