You can put the download code into another thread using TThread so that your app doesn't freeze while downloading, and have a procedure that you send to TThread.Synchronize to update the progress bar. Also, for OnWork to be called, you have to call OnWorkBegin first, see http://www.borlandtalk.com/image-vp569607.html

Add an IdAntiFreeze component to your form and use it's properties and events to get notified of the progress of the network operations.
