Your urlProgresshandler is called after the loading of the URL finishes. To get a different status, you have to call another message or call the message in a different way, e.g.

on mouseUp
    //delete URL "binfile:" & specialfolderpath("documents") & "/data.file"
    put "data.file" into tFileName
    put "ftp://" & FTPUSER & ":" & FTPPASS & "@" & FTPHOST & "/" & tFileName into pUrl
    -- start the download process, telling Rev to call the "downloadComplete" handler when finished
    // the callback message has only 2 parameters: url and urlStatus
    Load URL pUrl with message "downloadComplete"
    send "urlProgress pUrl" to me in 200 millisecs
end mouseUp

on urlProgress pUrl  //,pStatus, pMessage,pbytesR,pbytesT
    put urlStatus(pUrl) into pStatus
    if item 1 of pUrl is "loading" then
       put item 2 of pStatus into pBytesR
       put item 3 of pStatus into pbytesT
       put item 1 of pStatus into pStatus
       send "urlProgress pUrl" to me in 200 millisecs
     end if
end urlProgress

on downloadComplete theUrl,theUrlStatus
    if theUrlStatus is "cached" then
       -- work out a file name for saving this file to the desktop
       set the itemDel to slash
       put "binfile:" & specialfolderpath("documents") & "/data.file" into myPath
       put "data.file" into tFileName
       put url theUrl into url myPath
       answer "Download completed" with ok
       -- to save memory, now unload the URL from memory
       -- this also means that if you want to run the test again, it does not just use a cached version
        unload pURL
    end if
    -- check if there was a problem with the download
    if pStatus = "error" or pStatus = "timeout" then
        put libUrlErrodData(theUrl) into myErr
        answer error "The file could not be downloaded."&& myErr with "ok"
    end if
end downloadComplete

Let me know if this works (it should). If not, I'll have another look.
